Skymet Weather, a private weather prediction website, had three days ago predicted that the monsoon would cover south India and the northeast by the first week of June.
IMD director-general Laxman Singh Rathore said the delay in the onset was not an “unusual” phenomenon. He said there would be some relief for southern states from the intense heat as there could be some rainfall in the coming days.
“There is a low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal which will become a depression and hit the Tamil Nadu coast. This will bring good amount of rainfall to the state and parts of south India.
