Earliest Monsoon Hits India Since 2009
- The southwest monsoon arrived in Kerala on Saturday, marking its earliest arrival over the Indian mainland since 2009, according to the IMD.
- Typically, the monsoon reaches Kerala by June 1 and covers the entire country by July 8, with withdrawal starting around September 17.
- Historical data shows varied onset dates, with the earliest recorded on May 19, 1990, highlighting no direct link between onset and total seasonal rainfall.
- The IMD forecasts above-normal rainfall for the 2025 season, dismissing El Nino's impact, which usually lowers rainfall.
- Monsoon rains are vital for agriculture, supporting 42% of India's population and contributing significantly to GDP, besides replenishing essential reservoirs.
