- Monsoon onset over Kerala occurred on June 4, later than usual.
The southwest monsoon is forecast to arrive in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) during the final week of June, specifically between June 25 and June 30. This advance follows its official onset over Kerala on June 4, which was slightly delayed from the usual timing.
In the interim, Delhi is experiencing significant heat, with minimum temperatures hovering around 27.7°C and maximums nearing 39°C. Despite the warm spell and partly cloudy skies with a chance of thunderstorms, the city's air quality remains in the 'moderate' category.
Following its expected arrival in the capital, the monsoon will continue its northward progression across northwestern India, encompassing states like Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. Meteorologists are closely monitoring its pace and intensity.
A brief wet spell is anticipated around June 11-12, potentially offering temporary relief with maximum temperatures dropping to approximately 36°C before the full monsoon coverage.
