NEW DELHI, MAY 16: The onset of monsoon over Kerala will be delayed by four days, the India Meteorological Department said on Tuesday. It is expected to happen on June 4 this year, it said.

The normal date for the onset of monsoon over the Kerala coast is June 1. It marks the beginning of the four-month monsoon season, which brings about 75 per cent of India’s annual rainfall.

In the last five years, only once has the onset happened on June 1. On two occasions, in 2018 and 2022, it happened a couple of days earlier, on May 29, while in 2019 and 2021, the onset happened a few days later.

The onset of monsoon is just a marker for the beginning of the rainfall season. It has no bearing on the amount of rainfall that happens during the season.
