There was little rain in early spring in Assam and West Bengal, leading to fewer harvesting and factory shutdowns, which are dealing with logistics challenges related to the surge in Covid-19 infection. During the economic slowdown and blockade, many employees were on leave. At the time of this writing, the weather is a much greater threat to the tea harvest than Covid-19, but infection in tea-producing areas is on the rise. With auctions slowing down and daily activities such as trucking and port activities responding, the blockade is coming with far-reaching implications. Tea production in Assam fell by 10-15 per cent in March and April and 30 per cent in March compared with 2019, according to statistics from the Indian Tea Council. It is reported that 1.92 million kilograms were harvested in North Bengal this year and 4.04 million kilograms between January and February 2019. According to TAI, demand is still strong, but tea prices have not soared as they did in 2020.

Hailstorms did not help. The rainfall in January and February was 14.2 millimeters, much lower than 28.47 millimeters in the same period last year. As of February, Cachar had received only 4.15mm bullets. The rainfall in Mikai increased to 6.15 mm from 19.1 mm last year. Dry weather makes it more likely that hail like the hail that has occurred near the Malian tea garden in recent days in the city of Jalbay is more likely to continue. In Assam and northeastern India, contact between dry and moist air masses can bring strong winds, torrential rains and hail at 60-80 kilometers per hour. These storms, known as "spring showers", occur before the monsoon, originate in the Chotanagpur Plateau and move eastward. Meteorologists expect higher-than-average monsoons in the coming weeks, but tea trees need steady rainfall until the summer monsoon comes. The monsoon has been intermittent in recent years. According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the last time India experienced normal monsoon weather for three consecutive years was between 1996 and 1998. The Meteorological Agency forecasts that the southwest monsoon from June 1 to September 30 will bring normal or above-normal rainfall, with an average rainfall of 907 millimetres. The privately operated Skymet weather forecasting system estimates that this year's monsoon will reach 103 per cent of the long-term average (LPA). According to a report by the Assam Sentinel, rainfall will be 109% of LPA in 2020 and 110% in 2019. Assam's first-quarter harvest accounted for about 10.5% of the region's annual harvest, usually 75 million kilograms. In 2020, the region produced 618 million kilograms of tea, accounting for more than half of India's tea production.
