The southwest monsoon hit Kerala on May 24, marking its earliest arrival over the Indian mainland since 2009, the IMD said.
While its early onset fuels hopes for a good rainy season, experts caution that early arrival doesn’t always ensure above-normal rainfall.
India, largely dependent on monsoons for agriculture, is expected to witness above-normal rainfall this year with El Niño conditions ruled out.
With reservoirs, power generation, and crop cycles hinging on rain, the monsoon’s timing and volume remain vital to India’s economy and rural life.
