Telangana: Monsoon Set to Arrive by June 5, IMD Forecasts

The southwest monsoon is expected to reach Telangana by June 5, according to the latest forecast by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The weather department predicts that the monsoon will hit Kerala by May 27, earlier than usual, raising the possibility of its arrival in Telangana in the first week of June.

Last year, the southwest monsoon entered the Indian mainland on May 30 and reached Telangana by June 8. Given this year’s early onset, IMD expects monsoon winds to cover Telangana by June 5 or earlier. Additionally, the department has already forecast above-normal rainfall for the state this year, bringing positive news for agriculture and water resources.
