The south-west monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, three days prior to its normal onset date of June 1, the India Meteorological Department said.
“South-west monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, May 29, against the normal date of onset of June 1,” India Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.
According to the earlier predictions made by IMD, the SW monsoon were likely to arrive on May 27 with the model error or plus/minus four days. But after that, there was a lot of flip flop by the IMD over its actual date.
