Southwest monsoon may arrive in A.P. in four days, says IMD
The India Meteorological Department expects the southwest monsoon to reach Andhra Pradesh within four days following its arrival in Kerala. Despite the approaching rains, the state continues to face severe heatwave conditions with high temperatures recorded across multiple districts.
Why it matters
The timing of the monsoon is critical for agricultural planning and public health in India, especially as the region currently struggles with extreme heat and uneven rainfall forecasts.
The southwest monsoon, which is likely to arrive in Kerala on Thursday (June 4), may reach Andhra Pradesh in the next three to four days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Amaravati.
The report relies on official data from the India Meteorological Department and state disaster management authorities without editorializing.
