The Hindu
The southwest monsoon saw delayed withdrawals in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
The country will witness an extended monsoon spell this year as rainfall activity over north India shows no sign of decline till the end of September.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), southwest monsoon withdrawal from northwest India takes place if there is cessation of rainfall activity over the area for continuous five days.
An anticyclonic wind has to form over the lower troposphere, and there should also be considerable reduction in moisture content.
