Start of monsoon over Kerala in two days
Apart from Mumbai and the Konkan region, Kerala will also be affected by the developing cyclonic activities with predictions claiming the start of the monsoon in the next two days.
Cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ is rapidly intensifying into a severe cyclonic storm and forecasters are predicting a “mild” start to the monsoon over Kerala and “weak” progress beyond the southern peninsula under its influence, PTI reported.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday morning that conditions are favorable for the start of the monsoon in Kerala within two days.
A senior IMD scientist said the southern part of the peninsula will receive rain under the influence of the cyclonic storm and a developing low pressure system in the Bay of Bengal. However, further monsoon advance beyond the southern peninsula will occur after the cyclone degenerates.
“It would not be the case for the onset of the classical monsoon, satisfying all the given criteria. We would have scattered showers along the fringe of the west coast, but no inland penetration and widespread showers,” he added.
Gujarat is likely to get rain these days
Furthermore, the cyclone is likely to bring light rain to the Saurashtra and South Gujarat regions between June 9-11, IMD said.
Gujarat fishermen have been warned not to venture into the Arabian Sea until June 14.
