Monsoon has arrived in Kerala ahead of schedule. On May 15, the weather office had declared the onset of monsoon in Kerala by May 31. The normal monsoon onset date for Kerala is June 1 and for Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur and Assam is June 5.
Monsoon has arrived in Kerala ahead of schedule this time. It is raining in many places. Due to cyclone Remal, the southwest monsoon reached the Kerala coast and parts of the Northeast on Thursday, a day before the weather office forecast. Meteorologists said that the cyclone that hit West Bengal and Bangladesh on Sunday has pulled the monsoon flow towards the Bay of Bengal.
Scientists say this could be one of the reasons for the premature onset of monsoon in the Northeast. The India Meteorological Department said, the southwest monsoon has entered Kerala and advanced to most parts of Northeast India today, May 30, 2024. On May 15, the weather office had announced the onset of monsoon in Kerala by May 31.
When does monsoon arrive in Kerala?
Data from the weather office shows that Kerala has been receiving heavy rainfall for the last few days, resulting in excess rainfall in May. The normal monsoon onset date for Kerala is June 1 and for Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur and Assam is June 5.
What did you say about El Nino and La Nina?
Scientists say that for now, El Nino conditions are prevailing and La Nina may arrive by August-September. El Nino – the periodic warming of surface water in the central Pacific Ocean – is associated with weak monsoon winds in India. La Nina – the exact opposite of El Nino. It causes heavy rainfall during the monsoon season.
