The southwest monsoon surged into Maharashtra on Sunday, making history with its earliest arrival in 35 years, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
IMD indicates further advancement of monsoon to Mumbai within three days, alongside progression into Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and northeastern states, promising substantial rainfall.
Former Earth Sciences Secretary M Rajeevan highlighted that while such early starts aren't unusual, current conditions indicate prolonged monsoon activity, aiding the monsoon's reach into eastern regions.
