The early onset of the monsoon over Kerala and its rapid movement has raised hopes of relief from the heatwave for the rest of India. Meteorologists predict the monsoon could reach Pune by June 8. On Sunday, the monsoon’s northern limit passed through Kannur, Coimbatore, Amni, and Kanyakumari, with further progress expected in Karnataka, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu, and the Bay of Bengal. Maharashtra is experiencing moisture incursion, the first step towards the monsoon. Severe heatwave conditions persist in Northern India, but the monsoon’s arrival is expected to bring relief.
