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.
