The India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated that the southwest monsoon is likely to reach Kerala in the next four-five days, much earlier than the usual date of June 1.
The conditions are likely to become favourable for the further advance of southwest monsoon over some more parts of South Arabian Sea, remaining parts of Maldives and Comorin area, some parts of Lakshadweep area, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, South and Central Bay of Bengal, Northeast Bay of Bengal and some parts of Northeastern states during the same period, IMD said.
As per the weather department’s earlier forecast, the monsoon onset over Kerala was expected by May 27.
If the monsoon arrives in Kerala as expected, it will be the earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it was recorded on May 23, according to IMD data.
