The much-awaited four month long Monsoon season began its journey from Kerala on June 5, a little behind schedule. Southwest Monsoon quickly covered Northeast India by the next day. Its progress over the interiors of Peninsular India was a little sluggish in the initial phase due to the Cyclonic storm Ashobaa.
However, as the system moved away from the Indian coast, the Monsoon gained strength and has been progressing rapidly thereafter. At present, Southwest Monsoon has covered entire Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Bihar.
Why onset of Monsoon in India was delayed
Southwest Monsoon covered entire India by June 26, 2015.
