Various parts of south India are undergoing continuous rainfall with the onset of monsoon and the delayed effects of the convection conditions according to the IMD which has issued a rainfall and thunderstorm warning for the next few hours in certain States.
The India Meteorological Department on June 18 provided an update on the onset of monsoon in the country. The southwest monsoon has further advanced into some more parts of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, westcentral and northwest Bay of Bengal, some parts of Gangetic West Bengal and Jharkhand some more parts of Bihar and remaining parts of Sub- Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim today, the 19th June, the IMD had said.
Meanwhile, a recent IMD bulletin said heatwave/severe heatwave conditions are very likely to continue in some/isolated pockets over east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Telangana until June 21 and abatement of heatwave conditions will continue thereafter.
The southwest monsoon is in the process of resuming its trajectory post-Cyclone Biparjoy, which has been the longest storm in the Arabian Sea. The delay in monsoon resulted in a rainfall deficit for some of the southern States, and thus more rainfall is expected as the southwest monsoon continues to make its way across the States.
