Monsoon 2023 Updates: It is scorching hot in many states of the country at this time and people are waiting for the monsoon rains. Meanwhile, let us give you information about the latest status of monsoon. It is being told that due to the formation of a low pressure area over the southeast Arabian Sea and its strengthening in the next two days, the cyclonic winds can seriously affect the movement of monsoon towards the Kerala coast, thereby delaying the arrival of monsoon. Might be possible. Information in this regard has been given by the India Meteorological Department. However, the Meteorological Department has not given a possible date for the arrival of monsoon in Kerala.
According to the Meteorological Department, conditions are becoming favorable with the increase in westerly winds over the South Arabian Sea. Also, the depth of the westerly winds is seen increasing gradually. These westerly winds are blowing up to 2.1 km above the mean sea level. At the same time, cloud pressure is also increasing over the southeast Arabian Sea. We expect these favorable conditions for the onset of Monsoon to improve further during the next 3-4 days. It is being continuously monitored. However, there has been a decrease in cloud cover in the last 24 hours near the Kerala coast.
Apart from this, a low pressure area is likely to form over the Arabian Sea during the next 24 hours. Formation and strengthening of this system and its northward movement may affect the advance of Southwest Monsoon towards Kerala coast.
The southwest monsoon usually hits Kerala on June 1. However, this year it is likely to be delayed. It is estimated that monsoon may reach the Kerala coast by June 8. However, scientists said that this delay in the onset of monsoon is not likely to affect kharif sowing and total rainfall in the country.
The Meteorological Department had earlier said that despite the development of El Nino conditions, India is expected to receive normal rainfall during the southwest monsoon season. Less than normal rainfall is expected in North-West India. East and Northeast, Central and South Peninsula are expected to receive 94-106% of the rainfall of the long period average of 87 cm.
