Monsoon expected across India due to low-pressure formation
Good news for rain-watchers: the southwest monsoon is expected to hit the last parts of northwest India—including Delhi—within the next 3-4 days, according to the IMD.
This arrival is over a week ahead of its usual schedule, with only a small stretch across Rajasthan, Haryana, UP, and Delhi still waiting for showers.
Early rains benefit farmers, cool down temperatures
The early rains are being pushed by a low-pressure system in eastern India and could bring heavy downpours to states like Kerala, Gujarat, Odisha, and more.
For farmers especially, this is huge—nearly 70% of India's yearly rainfall happens during monsoon season.
Early showers mean crops like rice and cotton can be planted on time and water reservoirs get topped up—a win for both agriculture and everyone hoping for cooler weather.
