Clouds have settled in the South Indian state of Kerala and the rainy season is continuing, but despite this, the arrival of monsoon in the country has not been officially announced yet. The surprising thing is that compared to the year 2025, this time the monsoon rains have been delayed by about 5 days. Generally, the normal date of onset of monsoon in Kerala is considered to be June 1, but this time the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted that the monsoon will enter only by May 26. In such a situation, the question is arising that why is the monsoon considered stuck in Kerala even after cloudy rain? Let us know what is the latest weather condition.
Where is the monsoon stuck now and when will it advance further?
According to the latest update released by the Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday, conditions remain completely favorable for the monsoon to advance into the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep region and some more parts of the Bay of Bengal within the next 2 to 3 days. According to reports till May 28, the southwest monsoon has completely covered Andaman and Nicobar Islands including Sri Lanka.
After Andaman, now the next number is Kerala and Tamil Nadu. According to meteorologists, even though there may be initial slowdown in Kerala, by the end of June the south-west monsoon will gain momentum and will cover the entire country.
Monsoon gets angry because of two big villains, know the real reason for the delay
According to a reputed media report, two major meteorological reasons are mainly responsible for the weakening or delay of monsoon in reaching Kerala:
-
primary reason: A powerful storm is currently taking shape in the western Pacific Ocean. This storm is continuously pulling moisture towards itself from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, due to which the monsoon clouds are not getting the necessary energy to move forward.
-
Second reason: A cyclonic circulation is forming over the Lakshadweep region. Due to this system, the torrential and continuous rains that should occur in the coastal areas of Kerala are not happening.
According to the Extended Range Forecast (ERF), the weather may remain slightly dry over parts of Kerala between May 28 and June 4, while it will improve between June 4 and 11. In reality, monsoon rains will pick up their real pace only after June 11.
Weather changed in Delhi, alert of storm and heavy rain
On one hand, Kerala is waiting for monsoon, on the other hand, heavy rains in the country’s capital Delhi and NCR areas on Thursday evening have made the weather pleasant. According to Mahesh Palawat, expert of private weather agency Skymet, the system that started with thunder and lightning in the northern parts of Rajasthan has now reached Delhi.
The intensity of storm and rain is expected to increase further in Delhi-NCR on Friday. It is a matter of relief that this period of rain may continue till May 30. After this, on 30th and 31st May, this weather system will shift towards Gujarat. Palawat also said that this time the pre-monsoon rains will be much heavier than the rains in April and early May, which will provide great relief to the entire Delhi-NCR from the scorching heat.
When will Badra rain in UP, Bihar and other states?
The Meteorological Department (IMD) has also released rainfall forecast for other states of the country. According to:
-
Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan: Light to moderate rain may occur in eastern Uttar Pradesh on May 31. At the same time, showers with dust storms are expected in Western Rajasthan between 31 May to 2 June and in Eastern Rajasthan between 31 May to 3 June.
-
Hill State: There is a possibility of rain and hailstorm in the mountains on May 30 in Jammu and Kashmir, May 29 in Himachal Pradesh and May 29 and 30 in Uttarakhand.
-
East India: The weather pattern will change in Bihar on 30th May, while in Jharkhand and Odisha between 29th and 31st May. An alert for rain and thundershowers has also been issued in Gangetic West Bengal on May 29.
