Monsoon to hit the country by May 31: Monsoon is 100 km away from Kerala, but thunderstorm entry is unlikely this time

The monsoon is likely to hit Kerala on or before May 31. The northern end of the monsoon on Thursday reached the Maldives, the southwestern Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The monsoon is now 100 km off the coast of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.

The meteorological department said that the monsoon is likely to move towards Kerala and reach Lakshadweep in the next two days.

The monsoon reached Andaman and Nicobar

The meteorological department had earlier said that the monsoon could hit Kerala on May 27, while private meteorological agency Skymet had fixed May 26 as the monsoon knockout date. Now the meteorological department says the monsoon could hit on or before May 31. In the changed circumstances, Skymet said, the monsoon will be normal, but the chances of a thunderstorm are low.

Meteorologists say the monsoon will arrive in the rest of the country three to four days before or after the scheduled date. Following the hurricane in the Bay of Bengal, the monsoon in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has reached May 15, a week before the scheduled date of May 22.

Kerala has a rainy season

The meteorological agencies had announced that the monsoon would hit Kerala early, but later only Asani changed its route, but the kind of pre-monsoon rains that were expected in Central and East India did not happen. Monsoon clouds are seen in many parts of Kerala.

It will rain for only 35-40 days

Dr. S.N. Sunil Pandey said that like every year, it will rain this time too, but its days will be less. He said that earlier it was raining for 50-60 days, now it is raining for only 35-40 days. Now it rains a lot in a single day.
