Monsoon usually hits the Kerala coast around June 1. On May 26, the Meteorological Department had said that this year’s monsoon could reach the Kerala coast by June 4. But due to the cyclonic circulation, there was a slight delay in the arrival of monsoon. According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the monsoon flow has been slightly disturbed due to the formation of a cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea.
The Meteorological Department has predicted normal monsoon rains in the country from June to September this year. Monsoon is expected to be normal over most parts of the country. However, Monsoon rains this year are likely to be below average over Northwest India.
