The Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) now passes through Veraval, Surat, Ratlam, Jhansi, Lucknow, Pantnagar, Dehradun, Una and Jammu.

Whereas in Peninsular India, Panjim in Goa and Honavar in Karnataka recorded 155.8 mm and 114.8 mm of rainfall, respectively.
At present, the Monsoon is hearty and showering torrential rains along the West Coast, particularly over Coastal Karnataka and Goa. Similar is the case with the rains in Northeast India, particularly over Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya that too received heavy to very heavy rains.
Incessant rains have also lashed Sikkim, sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Bihar, East and Central Uttar Pradesh.
Today itself, Monsoon ventured into extreme southern parts of Gujarat. In the coming days, the Monsoon rains are expected to grow more exponentially. By the end of June, northern plains of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi is expected to be in the grip of Southwest Monsoon.
