Earlier predictions had suggested that the monsoon might arrive early due to strong systems forming in southern India. However, these systems have recently weakened, slowing down the progress of rainfall northward. IMD Director A.K. Das explained that while conditions initially pointed to an early monsoon arrival around mid-June, the declining pace of cyclonic activity near Maharashtra has delayed its advancement.
Thus, monsoon, which was scheduled to arrive in the state before time, will now arrive on time. This year, there are possibilities of more rainfall in the state in the month of June as compared to every year. The average maximum temperature in the month of June is speculated to be 37.5 degrees.
