The monsoon is likely to be delayed this year as its arrival is expected on June 6 in Kerala, five days after its normal onset date, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday. “This year, the statistical model forecast suggests that the monsoon onset over Kerala is likely to be delayed slightly,” the IMD said. “The southwest monsoon onset is likely to set over Kerala on June 6 with a model error of plus or minus 4 days,” it said. The normal onset date for monsoon over Kerala is June 1. The monsoon is likely to hit Andhra Pradesh by June 9 with a model error of plus or minus 4 days, said IMD and predicted that the State is likely to receive normal rainfall this year.
