Angry-looking thunderstorms stand guard over Mumbai, Kerala-Karnataka coast as well Vijayawada-Vishakapatnam on the east coast on Monday noon.
The monsoon has further advanced into Mumbai today (Monday), at least 15 days earlier than normal (June 10), increasing the lead time by more than a week compared to Kerala, the monsoon gateway, where it arrived on May 24 (8 days ahead).
Monsoon has also entered more parts of Karnataka, including garden city Bengaluru, which was in any case being pounded by pre-monsoon systems, as also remaining parts of Tamil Nadu; and some parts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, the monsoon’s Bay of Bengal arm covered remaining parts of Mizoram; all of Tripura; Manipur; Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh; and some parts of Assam and Meghalaya today.
Its northern limit passes Mumbai, Pune, Sholapur, Kalaburagi and Mahbubnagar on the western side and Kavali; Agartala; and Golpara in the east.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said conditions are favourable for it to advance into remaining parts of Karnataka; some more parts of Telangana; Andhra Pradesh; remaining parts of the North-Eastern States; and some parts of hills of West Bengal and Sikkim in the next three days.
