Southwest monsoon covers the entire country early, but reaches Delhi late
The southwest monsoon covered the entire country on Sunday (June 29), significantly ahead of its normal schedule of July 8. However, in Delhi, its arrival was slightly delayed from the usual onset date of June 27. Last year, the monsoon reached the national capital on June 28, while in 2022 it arrived earlier, on June 25. In recent days, Delhi has witnessed a steady influx of moisture-laden southeasterly winds, which enhanced cloud cover and brought scattered to fairly widespread rainfall across the region. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there have been only a few instances since 1960 when the monsoon has advanced over both Delhi and the entire country on the same day. One such occurrence was on July 2, 1967. Most such instances have taken place in July – in 1968, 1987, 1990, 2003, and 2011. Only once before, in 2013, did the monsoon cover Delhi and the entire country simultaneously in the month of June – on the 16th. Earlier, IMD officials had attributed the delayed arrival over Delhi, despite persistent cloud cover, to an anticyclonic circulation that was temporarily obstructing the monsoon's advance. They noted that the system would weaken soon, allowing the monsoon to progress. Till Saturday, the Northern Limit of Monsoon passed through Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jhunjhunu, Bharatpur, Rampur, Sonipat, and Anup Nagar, as per the IMD. The Met office has issued a yellow alert for Monday, forecasting light to moderate rain or thunderstorms accompanied by lightning in Delhi and surrounding areas. No alerts have been issued for the subsequent days, but rainfall is still expected. Daytime temperatures are likely to fall and remain between 26 and 31 degree Celsius through the week. In its extended range forecast valid up to July 10, the IMD has predicted above-normal rainfall in Delhi. The normal rainfall for the month is 209.7 mm. Between July 3 and 10, the department stated, 'The monsoon trough is likely to be active and near its normal position during most days of the week. As a result, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy falls is likely over many parts of northwest India.'

Monsoon Arrives In Delhi, Covers Entire Country 9 Days Early: Weather Office
New Delhi: The monsoon on Sunday covered Delhi a day ahead of the normal date of June 30 and advanced over the remaining parts of the country nine days before the usual date of July 8, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. According to IMD data, this is the earliest the monsoon has covered the entire country since 2020 when it did so by June 26. The rain-bearing system usually makes its onset over Kerala by June 1 and covers the entire country by July 8. It starts retreating from northwest India around September 17 and withdraws completely by October 15. This year, the monsoon reached Kerala on May 24, its earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it arrived on May 23. Supported by strong low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the monsoon advanced rapidly over the next few days, covering areas up to central Maharashtra, including Mumbai and the entire northeast by May 29. However, this was followed by a prolonged stagnation of around 18 days, from May 29 to June 16. Though it gradually covered the remaining parts of the country in the days that followed, its arrival in Delhi and adjoining areas was delayed due to anti-cyclonic winds over the region that hindered the flow of monsoon currents.

Monsoon arrives in Delhi, advances into parts of Rajasthan, western UP, and Haryana - Check IMD's forecast
In a big relief to Delhiites from the scorching heat, monsoon arrived in the national capital on Sunday, a day ahead of the normal date of June 30. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), monsoon had advanced over the remaining parts of the country nine days before the usual date of July 8. The weather agency said that the Southwest monsoon on June 29 advanced further into the remaining parts of Rajasthan, western Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, while covering the entire Delhi region. With this, the Southwest monsoon has covered the entire country. At 0830 hrs IST today, a low-pressure area persisted over the Northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining West Bengal and Bangladesh coasts. The associated cyclonic circulation extends up to 7.6km above mean sea level. This is likely to move slowly west-northwestward across North Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, and Jharkhand during the next two days. According to IMD data, this is the earliest the monsoon has covered the entire country since 2020, when it did so by June 26. The rain-bearing system usually begins over Kerala by June 1 and covers the entire country by July 8. It starts retreating from northwest India around September 17 and withdraws completely by October 15. This year, the monsoon reached Kerala on May 24, its earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it arrived on May 23. Supported by strong low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the monsoon advanced rapidly over the next few days, covering areas up to central Maharashtra, including Mumbai and the entire northeast by May 29. However, this was followed by a prolonged stagnation of around 18 days, from May 29 to June 16. Though it gradually covered the remaining parts of the country in the days that followed, its arrival in Delhi and adjoining areas was delayed due to anti-cyclonic winds over the region that hindered the flow of monsoon currents. The Met department has issued an orange alert for multiple districts in Himachal Pradesh, as the state continued to witness heavy rainfall, particularly in Shimla, the capital city. According to the Meteorological Centre in Shimla, an orange alert has been issued for Shimla, Sirmaur, Solan, Kullu, and Mandi. This alert indicates the likelihood of heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places over the next 48 hours. Additionally, yellow alerts have been issued for Kangra, Una, Bilaspur, Hamirpur, and Chamba, forecasting light to moderate rainfall in these regions. The weather agency has warned of light to moderate rainfall at many places in the districts of Bilaspur, Solan, Shimla, Sirmaur, Hamirpur, Mandi, and Kangra, with a few spells of intense to very intense rainfall likely to occur at isolated places. 'Light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur at a few places in the Districts of Kullu, Una, and Chamba,' it said.
