Monsoon Likely to Reach Delhi-NCR by June-End, Heavy Rain Alert for Southern States
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that the southwest monsoon is likely to reach Delhi and the wider National Capital Region( NCR) between June 25 and June 30.
There have been thunderstorms and scattered rainfall across Delhi-NCR that has brought temporary relief from the heat to the locals. The southwest monsoon has already made its onset over Kerala on June 4 which is three days after normal. However, meteorologists have stated that they expect it to advance steadily and cover most parts of India by the third week of June.
The weather department also forecasts light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal.
Similar weather conditions are also expected in the regions of Coimbatore, Tenkasi and Tiruvalli districts which have raised concerns about flooding and travel disruptions.
The weather office has issued a warning for heavy to very heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40 to 50 kmph in parts of the state for the next few days.
The most intense rainfall is expected over the Nilgiris, Theni and Dindigul districts, as well as the ghat areas of Coimbatore district, where isolated locations could experience very heavy downpours. Meteorologists said the strengthening monsoon conditions are likely to bring significant rainfall to the Western Ghats region, offering relief from recent heat and dry weather while also raising the possibility of localised flooding, landslides and disruptions in vulnerable hill areas.
