The Southwest Monsoon covered a large portion of the country on June 21, 2016. It further advanced into remaining parts of Madhya Maharashtra, East Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. It has also reached Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and covered entire Jammu & Kashmir. It has also covered some parts of West Uttar Pradesh.
Gujarat and plains of North India are yet to come under the purview of Monsoon rains. However, several major cities in India witnessed good Monsoon rains on Monday and rains will continue over these cities.
