Slight delay in onset of monsoon, arrival likely on 4 June: Met dept

A slight delay is expected in the onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala and it is likely to arrive by 4 June, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.
Scientists, however, said the slight delay is unlikely to impact agriculture and total rainfall over the country. The southwest monsoon normally sets in over Kerala on 1 June, with a standard deviation of about 7 days.
“This year, the southwest monsoon onset over Kerala is likely to be slightly delayed. The monsoon onset over Kerala is likely to be on June 4 with a model error of 4 days,” the Met office said in a statement.
