MUMBAI: A cyclone is likely in the Arabian Sea some 300 kilometres off the west coast between June 11 and 12, a Maharashtra government advisory said on Sunday.
The cyclone, which will not make landfall, is likely to result in gusty winds and a turbulent sea, Meteorological Department officials have said, adding that fishermen are advised
not to venture into the sea. Meanwhile, the monsoon is expected to arrive in Konkan and in Mumbai region during this period. The state government has also asked farmers not to rush with sowing as the onset of the south west monsoon has been delayed.
After the early showers, the soil needs time to be ready for germination. Normally, mon-soon normally arrives in Mumbai by June 7, but it takes another 15 days to completely cover the state.
