The Monsoon Riddle


Predicting monsoon
And the pre-showers.
Computer models
And the observation towers.

Land-ocean
And the ocean dipole.
El-Nino La-Nina
Also play a role.

Pacific warming
And the cooling as well.
Sometimes active
Others the break spell.

Efforts made
Understanding the complexes.
Unpredictability
Is what which perplexes.

Onset dates
And the arrivals are fixed.
With fluctuations
All precision gets nixed.

Unforeseen
Factors just pop in.
Amongst wets
Droughts drop in.

What to say
Of this monsoon riddle.
Wrong it goes
Even when right we did all.
