Monsoon to hit Kerala May 26
Southwest monsoon, lifeline for the country’s over 200 million farmers, is expected to set over Kerala on May 26, five days ahead of the normal onset, the weather office said on Thursday. The annual monsoon rains are expected to reach the Andaman Seas around May 20, a delay of five days, but forecast models indicate a rapid advance leading to an early onset in Kerala.
The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted that the southwest monsoon will set in over Kerala on May 26. According to the weathermen, the monsoon will be reasonably strong this time and is likely to provide bountiful rains.
“Our predictions are based on a statistical model and the onset can be four days before or four days after May 26,” said director-incharge of the IMD Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, Mr K. Santhosh.
