The monsoon usually arrives in Kerala on June 1 and in the northeast on June 5.
Cyclone Remal, which formed in the Bay of Bengal, has led to India witnessing a rare phenomenon with the monsoon setting in simultaneously over Kerala and most parts of the northeast. The last time this happened was in 2017 and there was one factor in common - Cyclone Mora had formed just before the monsoon that year, also over the Bay of Bengal.
The India Meteorological Department said on Thursday that the Southwest Monsoon has set in over Kerala and also advanced into most of northeast India, including all of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh, and most parts of Tripura, Meghalaya and Assam.
The monsoon usually arrives in Kerala on June 1 and in the northeast on June 5.
