Delhi Monsoon update: In a significant development for the national capital amid the rising scorching heat in the month of June, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated the date near which the southwest monsoon will reach the region. In the recent announcement made by the top weather department, it has declared that the rain-laden winds are likely to reach Delhi and the wider National Capital Region (NCR) between June 25 and June 30. The forecast comes after thunderstorms and scattered rainfall brought significant relief from the intense summer heat across Delhi-NCR this week. Here are all the details you need to know about the weather and monsoon prediction issued by the IMD for Delhi NCR.
Offering residents a clearer timeline for the arrival of the much-awaited rainy season, the arrival of the South West Monsoon is expected to bring down the soaring temperatures. With temperatures easing temporarily, attention has now shifted to the progress of the monsoon, which remains crucial for the region after weeks of sweltering heat.
The southwest monsoon made its onset over Kerala on June 4, three days later than its normal date and five days after the IMD’s initial forecast. Despite the delayed start, weather experts expect the monsoon to advance steadily and cover most parts of the country by the third week of June, a report by IANS news agency said.
