Monsoon Arrives In India, Earliest Onset Over Indian Mainland Since 2009
- The Southwest Monsoon arrived in Kerala on May 24, 2025, making it the earliest arrival in mainland India since 2009.
- This early arrival occurred eight days before the normal June 1 onset date and follows similar early timings recorded in 2009 and 1990.
- The Indian Meteorological Department forecasts thunderstorms in several regions including Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa, though Mumbai's alert was downgraded to yellow with only light to moderate rainfall expected.
- An official stated, “the monsoon has set in over Kerala,” but experts caution that early onset does not predict overall seasonal rainfall or coverage uniformly across India.
- If the monsoon sustains its pace and spreads evenly by mid-July, it could support a good agricultural output, aiding economic growth and inflation control in India's agriculture-dependent economy.
