Monsoon arrives in Kerala

The Southwest Monsoon over Kerala has arrived 3 days after its normal date and 5 days after IMDT’s forecast date and is expected to spread to most of India during the third week of June but with some apprehensions regarding the amount of rainfall.

Normally, the monsoon reaches Kerala about June 1. IMD had predicted on May 15 that this year the southwest monsoon is expected to get established over Kerala on May 26 with a model error of ± 4 days. IMD has further forecast that monsoon rainfall during this year will be 90% of the long period average – which is abelow normal monsoon rainfall.

Worse yet, IMD has warned that there is a 60% likelihood of having a deficient monsoon that is rainfall less than 90% of LPA. But, its arrival over Kerala, which is one of its milestones in the journey, will bring some cheer in a country where 51% of the farmed land accounting for 40% of production is rain fed.
