Southwest Monsoon covers entire India on June 26: IMD
Hyderabad/UNI: The Southwest Monsoon has covered the entire country on Friday, 12 days prior to normal date.
The normal date for Southwest Monsoon to cover entire country is July 8, India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in a release.
Earlier, the Southwest Monsoon covered the entire country on June 16 in 2013.
Before covering the entire country, the Southwest Monsoon has further advanced into remaining parts of Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab.
Considering southwest monsoon onset and advance over the country as a whole, there has been normal progress over south and east India, about a week delay advance over Northeast India and about 7-12 days early advance over central and northwest India.
The early advance over the central & northwest India was facilitated by the formation of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal which moved west-northwestwards and another cyclonic circulation over central India, the release added.
