New Delhi: The Southwest Monsoon has hit Kerala today after a delay of two days, marking the start of the four-month rainy season, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
The normal onset date for Southwest Monsoon over Kerala is June 1.
The monsoon onset over Kerala marks the commencement of the four-month rainfall season in the country.
Earlier in the day, the Met department had said that conditions were favourable for the onset of monsoon owing to the strengthening of south-westerly winds resulting in an increase in rainfall across the state.
“Due to the strengthening of the south-westerly winds and the spatial expansion of the rainfall over Kerala, the conditions are favourable for the onset of the Southwest monsoon on June 3,” the weather summary issued at 8.30 am on Thursday read.
