Monsoon 2023 india

The monsoon arrival in A delayed onset has little impact on monsoon rains. (PTI) “Latest observations indicate that a depression has formed over [the] southeast Arabian Sea and about 920 km west-southwest of Goa, 1120 km south-southwest of Mumbai, 1160 km south of Porbandar... It is likely to move nearly northwards and intensify into a cyclonic storm during next 24 hours over [the] Eastcentral Arabian Sea & adjoining southeast Arabian Sea,” IMD said on Tuesday. Monsoon normally arrives in Kerala around June 1 before advancing northwards and covering the entire country by July 15. IMD on May 16 said the monsoon was likely to arrive in Kerala on June 4 with a model error of +/-4 days. On Monday, IMD said westerly winds continued over the south Arabian Sea. It cited the cyclonic circulation over the Southeast Arabian Sea and said the cloud mass was now more organised and concentrated over the area. “...There has been some reduction of clouds off Kerala coasts in [the] last 24 hours.” The monsoon is critical for India’s economy as 51% of India’s farmed area accounting for 40% of production is rain-fed. As many as 47% of the country’s population is dependent on agriculture for livelihood. A bountiful monsoon is directly linked to a healthy rural economy. HT on June 1 reported the monsoon progress was likely to be dampened after its expected arrival in Kerala around June 4 with a model error of +/-4 days due to the chances of the development of a low-pressure area over the Arabi...

Monsoon 2023 arrived over Kerala on 8 June, delayed by at least a week but this is not the first time a monsoon date with Kerala is delayed by at least one week. Cyclone Biparjoy: IAF on standby with relief assets Cyclone Biparjoy: Wind speed to decrease by midnight, says MET director The delay in monsoon is resulting in record breaking heatwave over certain parts in India: On Saturday, 10 June Mumbai’s Santacruz observatory reported a maximum temperature of 38.5°c and broke the all time record of highest ever maximum temperature in the month of June since the record keeping begin, the previous record of 38.0°c from 11 June 2014 brought down to the knees, similarly Dhanau experienced a maximum temperature of 39.2°c broke the previous June all...

MUMBAI, May 30 (Reuters) - India's monsoon rains advanced into some more parts of southwest Bay of Bengal after stalling for the past 11 days at a far-flung island, weather department said on Tuesday. The monsoon, the lifeblood of the country's $3 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70% of the rain that India needs to water farms and recharge reservoirs and aquifers. Nearly half of India's farmland, without any irrigation cover, depends on the annual June-September rains to grow a number of crops. Monsoon rains arrived over the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands on May 19, but then didn't make any progress until May 30, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. Monsoon advanced into some parts of southwest Bay of Bengal on Tuesday and conditions are favourable for further advance into more parts of the region during the next 2-3 days, the IMD said. Rains usually lash mainland Kerala around June 1 and cover the whole country by mid-July. Timely rains trigger planting of crops such as rice, soybeans and cotton. This year, the onset of the monsoon over Kerala is likely to be slightly delayed. The onset of monsoon rains over the southern Indian state is likely to be on

MUMBAI, June 5 (Reuters) - India's monsoon onset over the southernmost Kerala coast is delayed by another two-three days because the formation of cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea has reduced cloud cover over the Kerala coast, weather officials said on Monday. The monsoon, the lifeblood of the country's $3 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70% of the rain India needs to water farms and recharge reservoirs and aquifers. The state-run India Meteorological Department (IMD) was expecting the arrival of monsoon rains over the Kerala coast on "The development of cyclonic circulation over the southeast Arabian Sea has been pulling moisture out of Kerala coast," said a senior IMD official, who declined to be named as he is not authorised to talk to media. The monsoon could arrive in the next two-three days, the official said, offering relief to farmers keenly waiting for the start of the wet season which is crucial for summer crops. Nearly half of India's farmland, without any irrigation cover, depends on the annual June-September rains to grow several crops. The monsoon's late start could delay the planting of rice, cotton, corn, soybean and sugar cane. The monsoon should pick up momentum and cover the entire country on time, said another official who declined to be named. "Let's hope it will move quickly once it sets over Kerala," he said. India's weather office has forecast However, for the entire four-month season, the IMD has forecast an average amount of rain despite t...

By Kumar Kunal: At a time when India is waiting for the arrival of the monsoon, systems active in the Arabian Sea and a few weak systems in the Bay of Bengal are creating ripples and Cyclone Biparjoy is actively affecting the western coast of Gujarat and adjoining states. Even a low-pressure cyclonic system was active in the Bay of Bengal till a few days ago, causing heavy rains in the northeastern region. When these systems are causing a dramatic weather change in the east and the west, the big question is what will happen to the monsoon. Has Cyclone Biparjoy already done massive damage to the advancement of the monsoon across the country even if it is localized to just a few areas? Monsoon on the way but stuck in “air turbulence” If we study the pattern of monsoon advancement closely, then the systems in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are affecting the onset in two different ways. The active Cyclone Biparjoy has already affected the advancement of the monsoonal system in an adverse way and is continuing to harm its advancement. Also Read | Former Deputy Director General of the Indian Meteorological Department, BP Yadav, explained: “The cyclonic system is sucking all the moisture and hence the moisture is not going to the coastal areas of Kerala, Karnataka, and other coastal areas from the Arabian Sea. Monsoon onset in Kerala is normally robust. The pattern of the monsoon is missing even in those areas where the monsoon has already arrived. When the monsoon arrives...
