In association with the continued prevalence of moist easterly winds from the Bay of
Bengal in the lower levels since past 4 days, enhanced cloud cover and scattered to
fairly widespread rainfall, the southwest monsoon has further advanced into
remaining parts of the country including Delhi, remaining parts of Uttar Pradesh,
Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Thus, the Southwest Monsoon has covered entire
country on 13th July, against the normal date of 08th July (Figure).
The monsoon advanced over Delhi, thus occurred on 13th July against the normal
date of 27th June.
The dates of advance of monsoon over the country and Delhi against their normal
date in recent years are shown in table 1.
