Monsoon onset remains delayed

Meanwhile, the arrival of the southwest monsoon has been delayed. The IMD had forecast the arrival of the monsoon over Kerala on May 26. However, a week later, the monsoon is yet to arrive.

The delay in the onset of the monsoon over the southern Indian state has thereby delayed its progression towards Mumbai and Maharashtra as well.
