The formation of a low-pressure area over the southeast Arabian Sea and its intensification in the next two days is expected to critically influence the advance of the monsoon towards the Kerala coast
After a slight relief because of the rain, Delhi and Mumbai are likely to go back to usual June weather over the next few days.
In the coming weeks, the temperature is expected to fluctuate between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius with little to no possibility of rainfall. However, the nights and evenings are likely to be less warm, with the temperature dropping to approximately 30 degrees Celsius.
The formation of a low-pressure area over the southeast Arabian Sea and its intensification in the next two days is expected to critically influence the advance of the monsoon towards the Kerala coast, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday. The weather department, however, did not give a tentative date for the arrival of the monsoon in Kerala.
Private forecasting agency Skymet Weather said the monsoon onset over Kerala may happen on June 8 or June 9 but it is expected to be a “meek and mild entry”.
The IMD said the cloud mass is more organised and concentrated over the southeast Arabian Sea due to the formation of a low-pressure area and there has been some reduction of clouds off the Kerala coast.
