Onset of monsoon around June 4 in Kerala; below normal rainfall likely in Northwest India: IMD
“The 4% less monsoon rainfall than the long period average of 100% can be attributed to an expected El Nino event in the Pacific. At present, in the equatorial Pacific, neutral conditions are there. However, model forecasts are showing that and the temperature are also seen warming over that region. Most of the models are indicating that in the next 2-3 months it will reach El Nino conditions.”
