New Delhi:The southwest monsoon is slowly but steadily moving forward across India, bringing hopes of relief for millions battling scorching heat, especially in north India. While the monsoon missed its expected early arrival over Kerala this year, theIndia Meteorological Department(IMD) says conditions are now becoming favourable for further advancement over the next few days.
According to the IMD, the monsoon has advanced into parts of the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep region, Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. The weather agency said the rain-bearing system is gradually regaining strength after a temporary slowdown caused by weak monsoon winds.
For people across north India, especially Delhi-NCR, the biggest question remains: when will the rains arrive?

At present, the IMD has not indicated any major delay in the monsoon reaching north India. Historically, the monsoon reaches Delhi around June 27, and weather experts say the current timeline still remains broadly on track despite the delayed Kerala onset.
Before the full monsoon arrives, Delhi and nearby areas are likely to witness pre-monsoon activity, including thunderstorms, gusty winds and scattered rain spells over the coming days. These weather changes could bring temporary relief from the ongoing heatwave and uncomfortable warm nights.
The IMD has forecast active monsoon conditions over Northwest India during the next two days and over Central India during the next three to four days.
The weather agency has also warned of extremely heavy rainfall over parts of Madhya Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Goa and Gujarat till tomorrow. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is also expected over Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and East Rajasthan till June 3.
Similar weather conditions are likely over parts of Karnataka, Kerala, Assam, Meghalaya, Jharkhand, Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal today.
The IMD added that scattered to fairly widespread rainfall is expected over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan during the week.
