India News: The country's southwest monsoon, lifeline of millions of farmers, is expected to arrive over the Kerala coast on June 3, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said today. The prediction is with a model error of plus or minus four days, the Met office said.
It said all the six parameters it had studied showed the monsoon was likely to set over the Indian mainland around June 3. The four-month southwest monsoon season enters India from Kerala and thereafter covers the entire country in the next few weeks. The rains start retreating from the northern parts of the country around September-end.
