Monsoon is expected to reach the southern districts of the Chhattisgarh within next three to four days.
Also, a Trough is passing across Odisha, due to which we expect rain intensity to increase, particularly, over South and Coastal Odisha, while scattered rains would continue for some more days over the interior parts.
On and off rainfall and thundershower activities are expected to continue for the next two to three days over the entire state.
Moreover, we expect Monsoon to make an entry in Odisha, within next two to three days due to the increasing intensity of rainfall activities over the state.

Southwest Monsoon 2019 continues to have a sluggish progress and has remained stationary since a long time now. By June 15, Monsoon covers at least two thirds of the country, however, until now, only 10 percent of the country has been able to see Monsoon showers.
Northeast India, which usually sees Monsoon making an onset in the beginning of June but this time, Monsoon has only reached until some parts of Mizoram and Manipur.
However, now Monsoon is likely to progress further, covering Kerala, most parts of coastal Karnataka as well as over some parts of Konkan and Goa, during the next 24 to 48 hours. On the other side, Northeast India may also see arrival of Monsoon.

However, rain activities are still scanty over Interior Peninsula. Also, scattered rain and thundershower activities are going on over Northeast India.
We now expect Monsoon to cover entire coastal Karnataka and parts of Konkan and Goa during the next 24 hours. Interior Peninsula and Northeast India, on the other hand, will have to wait for another two to three days for the onset.
However, due to the increase in rain intensity over Northeast India after 24 hours, Monsoon might make a progress over Northeast by June 14.
Updated on June 11, 6:00 PM: The wait for Mumbai Monsoon is going to end very soon as weather conditions are getting favorable for the onset of Monsoon here.
Cyclone Vayu is leading to continuous rains over the region. Mumbai is likely to witness Monsoon onset by this weekend. This would be mean a delay in onset by a week as the normal date is June 10.

During the last 24 hours, moderate to heavy rains have occurred over Kerala, Coastal Karnataka and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Now, conditions are also becoming favorable for the advancement of Southwest Monsoon into southern parts of Northeast India during the next 48 hours. Fairly widespread moderate to heavy rain and thundershower activities are occurring over parts of Kerala. We expect the rain deficiency of Kerala to go down or come near normal.

Update on June 09, 11:00 AM: Southwest Monsoon 2019 kick-started on a poor note, with rains on the lower side. In fact, the West Coast that is one of major contributor has remained silent so far. The onset of Monsoon was also a weak one, with only light rains with few moderate showers in sight over Kerala.
As a result, the first week of Monsoon ended with a whopping countrywide cumulative rain deficiency to the tune of 42%. From June 1 to June 7, the country recorded 13.9 mm of rains against the normal of 24 mm.
Out of 36 sub-divisions, only 1 was largely deficient, 2 were excess, 5 were normal, but 11 were deficient, 15 were large deficient and 2 saw no rains at all.
Read in detail: Poor start for Monsoon 2019 as first weekends with 42 per cent rain deficiency, recovery not likely
Update on June 08, 4:20 PM: While on one side the system aligned all the features of Monsoon and finally pulling the Monsoon surge over Kerala, on the other hand, it would be the reason behind its sluggish advancement.
As the low-pressure area continues to get more marked, moist winds would now concentrate over the system. As a result, rains would reduce significantly reduce along the coast. Although, it would give some rains along with coastal areas of Kerala, Coastal Karnataka and Konkan & Goa, but would not be enough for further advancement of Monsoon.
Update on June 08, 3:15 PM: After a long wait, and a delay of one week, Southwest Monsoon 2019 has finally made an onset over the state of Kerala. Weather conditions had started to become favourable for the onset of Monsoon in Kerala for the last couple of days.
