The Director General of IMD said that the monsoon has covered most parts of North India earlier than normal this year. However, the forecast to cover the entire country has not been issued yet. Some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan are still left for the progress of monsoon.
The director said that monsoon is expected to reach these areas in the next few days. Especially in southern Uttar Pradesh and Gangetic West Bengal, favorable conditions are being created due to the low pressure area, which will further strengthen the monsoon. This is increasing the possibility of good rain.
According to the information, normally, the monsoon reaches Maharashtra, Telangana, southern Chhattisgarh, central India, Odisha, West Bengal, Sikkim, Bihar and parts of Jharkhand including Mumbai by June 15. After this it covers most parts of Gujarat, Kutch, Madhya Pradesh, North Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar by June 20. By June 30, it spreads to Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and eastern Rajasthan. After which, by July 8, it covers the rest of north-west India.
This time the monsoon started its journey ahead of time. It knocked on Kerala on May 24, eight days before normal, and rapidly covered large parts of the country including the west coast, Mumbai. However, the pace of monsoon had stopped from May 29 to June 15. After this, it gained momentum again from June 15 and returned to its normal path. Due to favorable conditions in the North Arabian Sea, the monsoon has progressed rapidly.
