Hey there, folks! Exciting news on the weather front – the monsoon is all set to make its grand entrance in Kerala right on schedule, with heavy rains expected to sweep across central India, including Maharashtra, starting next month. According to the latest forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Maharashtra is gearing up to receive a whopping 106 percent of its average rainfall from June to September, promising a wet and wild monsoon season ahead.
IMD Director General Mrityunjay Mohapatra spilled the beans on Monday, maintaining the earlier prediction of above-average rainfall of 106 percent across the country during the monsoon period. The stars seem to be aligning for the monsoon, with Cyclone Remal in the Bay of Bengal fast-tracking its arrival in Kerala within the next five days. While Northeast India might see slightly less rainfall in June, North India is expected to get a healthy dose of rain, along with Central and South India.
For Maharashtra, heavy rainfall is on the cards from the get-go, with Konkan and South Maharashtra likely to bear the brunt in June. And guess what? The pesky El Niño conditions are finally easing up, making way for La Niña to take center stage from July to September. The Indian Ocean Dipole is also expected to kick into action in June, promising even more rainfall in the second phase of the monsoon.
But wait, before the monsoon steals the spotlight, let’s not forget the scorching heatwaves that have been making their presence felt this month. Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Punjab, Haryana, and even Maharashtra have all been battling the heat, with some regions experiencing intense heatwave conditions. The good news is that the heatwaves in North India are expected to taper off by the end of May, although a few isolated pockets might still feel the heat in June.
So, buckle up, folks! It looks like we’re in for a wild ride this monsoon season, with plenty of rain to go around. Stay tuned for more updates as the weather gods work their magic.
