Short summary
This study examines the potential of the seasonal predictably of the India's rainy season using remotely sensed precipitation data. Through monitoring the onset date of the Indian rainy season, we leverage its potential to harvest very seasonal predictability. This seasonal predictability is unmatched from other global teleconnections like El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole.
