Monsoon expected to reach northwest India early
The southwest monsoon is on track to reach northwest India, including Delhi, by June 25, according to the IMD. It arrived in Kerala unusually early this year—on May 24—but then slowed down for a bit. Now, it's expected to finally bring some much-needed relief from the heatwave in northern regions over the next week.
TL;DR
Monsoon is crucial for India
Monsoon rains are a big deal for India—they fuel crops, fill up reservoirs, and keep things running from June to September. This year, the IMD predicts above-average rainfall for most areas (except Ladakh and parts of the northeast), which should help both farmers and anyone hoping for cooler days ahead.
