Monsoon keeps India waiting, but brutal rain and hail to crash the party Monday
The India Meteorological Department has confirmed that the official southwest monsoon onset faces a slight delay. However, active weather systems are bringing heavy rain, severe thundersqualls, and hailstorms across multiple states.
The southwest monsoon is teasing the Indian mainland, hovering at the doorstep of Kerala.
While the official onset over the southern coast faces a brief delay of three to four days, diverse weather systems are triggering intense rain, thundersqualls, and hailstorms across multiple states.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heatwave conditions have completely abated across the nation, providing much-needed respite.
HEAVY RAIN WARNINGS AS MONSOON REACHES KERALA DOORSTEP
The weather office noted that conditions remain highly favourable for the monsoon to progress further into the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep, and parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
For Monday, June 1, the weather repository forecasts widespread atmospheric activity.
Downpours will target the south peninsular pocket, with isolated heavy rainfall predicted for Kerala, Lakshadweep, Tamil Nadu, and South Interior Karnataka.
Simultaneously, the northeastern states of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are on alert for isolated heavy showers.
West India will also witness volatile conditions, as the Gujarat region braces for isolated heavy falls, while Maharashtra expects isolated hailstorms.
In central parts of the country, West Madhya Pradesh faces a double whammy of heavy showers and isolated hailstorm activity.
FIERCE THUNDERSQUALLS AHEAD AS TEMPERATURES DROP
Turbulent winds are set to sweep through eastern and northwestern India.
The weather office has issued warnings for severe thundersqualls in Odisha, with wind speeds reaching 60 to 70 kilometres per hour, gusting up to 80 kilometres per hour, accompanied by isolated hail.
East Rajasthan will experience similar squally winds tracking up to 70 kilometres per hour.
The national capital will experience a partly cloudy sky.
The maximum temperature is expected to hover comfortably below normal between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius, while the minimum will settle between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius.
While central India will see a temperature drop of two to four degrees Celsius, northwestern regions must prepare for a gradual temperature spike of six to eight degrees Celsius later in the week.
Fishermen are strictly advised not to venture into the choppy waters of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
