According to the IMD forecast, the four-month monsoon season (June-September) is expected to end with ‘above normal’ rainfall. This means the monsoon is expected to be in the range of 105-110% of the long term average (LPA). The total rainfall till Monday (June 1 to September 23) is 5% more than the ‘normal’ rainfall for this period. However, the first month of the season (June) was 11% rainfall deficient.

This year, the monsoon arrived in Kerala and the Northeast on May 30, as against the usual arrival on June 1 and June 5. This time, the monsoon covered the entire country by July 2. This was six days before the normal date of July 8. Usually, the monsoon covers the entire India in 38 days (June 1 to July 8). This year, despite a slow progress in June, it did so in 34 days. This was the third consecutive year when the monsoon covered the entire country by July 2.
