After a delayed entry due to cyclone in the Arabian Sea, Monsoon is all set to cover whole India in the coming days. Monsoon has covered almost 80 per cent of the nation till Monday, according to media reports. However, this year’s onset of monsoon was different from usual, observes IMD experts.
Monsoon has reached India and covered almost 80 per cent of the country, said IMD senior scientis Naresh Kumar in an interview with NDTV on Monday. He added that the main reason behind the speedy advancement was the low pressure area occurring in the Bay of Bengal on Sunday.
He also observed that the monsoon pattern this time was different from that of previous years. One of the significant feature of this year’s pattern was the overlapping of the monsoon entry date in Delhi and Mumbai. Notably, this happened for the first time since June 21, 1961.
For Mumbai, this year’s monsoon arrival was way more late than expected. On the other hand, it was an unexpected delight for Delhites who experienced monsoon showers two days before the scheduled time.
On Sunday, the Safdarjung Observatory recorded 48.3 mm rainfall in the 24 hours ending at 8.30 am.
The Dhansa weather station logged around 80 mm, Jafarpur and Lodi Road around 60 mm each, Ayanagar and Mungeshpur around 50 mm each and SPS Mayur Vihar 40 mm, according to the IMD.
