The onset of southwest monsoon 2023 was delayed by one week over Kerala. In the subsequent two to three days monsoon covered Antar North East India as well as read up to south coconut over West Coast. Since then, monsoon became stagnant. One of the reasons can be the formation of a cyclone over the Arabian Sea which restricted the law of south-westerly winds towards south Peninsula.
Cyclone Biparjoy has made landfall over the Kutch region of Gujarat and is now seen as a depression over Central parts of Rajasthan. The impact of the cyclone has faded away. Westernly and South West Delhi flow of winds from the Arabian Sea has intensified leading to increase rain activities over South Peninsula. There will be a significant increase in rain over Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rayalaseema, and parts of South Telangana.
Almost all the Meteorological divisions of South India are rain deficient to large rain deficient except Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Now the situation will improve gradually with the active conditions of monsoon.
