The much-awaited southwest monsoon is expected to hit the Kerala coast in the next two days.
The Southwest monsoon is “very likely” to hit Kerala on June 9 following favourable conditions, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said today.
“In view of the strengthening of cross equatorial flow and deepening of westerlies over the south Arabian Sea and development of feeble offshore trough along the Karnataka-Kerala coast, onset of (Southwest) monsoon over Kerala is very likely by June 9,” IMD said in its mid-day bulletin.
