Monsoon is expected to reach Maharashtra by June 21
The much-awaited monsoon is expected to reach southern Konkan and Goa by June 21, and is likely to cover entire Maharashtra by June 24 or 25.
“While the monsoon is likely to cover entire Maharashtra, good rains are expected over the parched regions like Marathwada and Vidarbha, which are currently reeling under water crisis,” an India Meteorological Department official said in Pune.
He said though the monsoon got delayed due to ‘Vayu‘, it’s expected to move forward rapidly.
The official said despite the delay, the monsoon is mostly expected to cover Karnataka, remaining parts of Tamil Nadu and Telangana, Odisha, and parts of the North East later this month.
“Though the effect of ‘Vayu’ is over, there will be widespread heavy rains over parts of Kutch and Saurashtra in Gujarat and East Rajasthan by tomorrow,” he said.
