While the IMD has predicted that the monsoon will be delayed this year, that’s not a cause for concern. Regional variations in rainfall, extreme rainfall events, and the developing El Nino are bigger worries.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said that this year, there will be a slight delay in the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala. However, it added that for the next 7 days no heatwave conditions are expected.
In the last five years, only once has the onset happened on June 1. On two occasions, in 2018 and 2022, it occurred a couple of days earlier, on May 29, while in 2019 and 2021, the rains set in a few days later.
The south-westerly winds are yet to strengthen enough to ensure the arrival of monsoon in Kerala, the weather department has said. Things will improve only June 1 onwards, they said.
