Monsoon are expected to arrive in Kerala Next week as per weather experts of India. “There is no further progress as yet,” India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) chief forecaster D Sivananda Pai told PTI when asked about the progress of monsoon.
Weather scientists said conditions were becoming favourable for further advance of monsoon over some parts of the Bay of Bengal during the next three days. However, scientists do not see this as an indication towards an early onset over Kerala.
It made some headway between May 17 and May 20 but has not moved any further since. Cyclone Mahasen, which ravaged coastal Bangladesh and parts of Myanmar, sucked up moisture in the monsoon winds, leaving them dry.Monsoon watchers expect a strong phase of rainfall in the first week of June after the onset over Kerala, an activity attributed to the wet phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) wave that passes over the Indian Ocean during the period.
