Monsoon 2019 would continue to be active over Kerala and Coastal Karnataka, giving moderate to heavy rains during the next 24 hours.
A low pressure area is also likely to form in Bay of Bengal. On account of this, Andaman and Nicobar Islands would see heavy rains, with one or two places even recording three-digit rainfall.
rains would increase over Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana June 22 onwards. These rains would also mark the onset of Monsoon onset over these states.
Updated on June 17, 2019: Upcoming low in Bay to bring Monsoon rains to more parts of India
Southwest Monsoon has had a delayed onset so far with its progress and advancement remaining sluggish. Monsoon has not even reached Mumbai until now making the process delayed. Now, a system is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal around June 19 which will intensify into a Low Pressure Area around June 20.
This system will not only give rains over the East, Central and parts of Peninsular India but will also be instrumental in bringing in Monsoon over more parts of the country.
Updated on June 15, 2019: Monsoon 2019 Forecast: Monsoon set to cover parts of Odisha and entire Northeast India
Conditions are becoming favorable for the advancement of Southwest Monsoon over Northeast in the next 24 to 48 hours. It can now reach Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, anytime soon covering the entire region of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. These on and off rains are likely to continue for the next three to four days.
Back in Central India, south-westerly winds are merging along with northerly winds over Odisha and its adjoining areas. Also, a Trough is extending from Northeast India up to coastal Odisha. These combined activities are likely to enhance rainfall activity in the state of Odisha for the next three to four days.
So, we expect Monsoon to cover parts of Odisha particularly South coastal Odisha in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Updated on June 14, 2019: Monsoon 2019 Forecast: Monsoon to cover entire Kerala and some more parts of Karnataka during next 24 to 48 hours

Usually, by this time, Monsoon covers South Gujarat, entire state of Maharashtra, parts of South Madhya Pradesh, half of Chhattisgarh, almost entire Odisha, Northeast India, West Bengal and some parts of Bihar and Jharkhand. However, due to its slow progress, it has not yet entirely covered Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Moreover, in Northeast India, Monsoon has been able to make it only up to Mizoram so far.
However, with the probability of intense rains, we expect Monsoon to extend its spread and cover over entire Kerala, most parts of coastal Karnataka as well as over some parts of Konkan and Goa, during the next 24 to 48 hours. Meanwhile, Monsoon is expected to cover some more parts of Northeast India.
Updated on June 10, 2019: Monsoon 2019 Forecast: Cyclone Vayu likely soon, heavy rains in Coastal Karnataka, Goa, Kerala
The well-marked low pressure area in Southeast and East-Central Arabian Sea has now induced a depression over the same region. The system is tracking north-northwest, parallel to the West Coast.

Rain in Kerala would continue but on reducing note as the probable Cyclone Vayu would drive away all the moisture.

In fact, it would also reach into the remaining parts of South Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep area and Kerala, some more parts of Tamil Nadu, southwest, southeast, eastcentral & northeast Bay of Bengal and some parts of central Arabian Sea and west-central Bay of Bengal during next 24 hours.
Updated on June 8, 2019: Southwest Monsoon reaches Kerala, misses Northeast
Southwest Monsoon arrived over Kerala, today, seven days later than its normal date of June 1. Monsoon has also covered most parts of Lakshadweep, some parts of South Tamil Nadu and rest of Comorin-Maldives area. The Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) is currently passing through Latitude 11°N/ Longitude 60°E, Latitude 11°N/ Longitude 70°E, Amini Divi, Kochi, Madurai, Latitude 11°N/ Longitude 86°E, Latitude 16°N/ Longitude 91°E, and Latitude 20°N/ Longitude 94°E.
Published on June 7, 2019: All eyes are on the Monsoon 2019, which is running late by over a week now. Southwest Monsoon marks its onset with hitting Kerala in South Peninsula and Tripura in Northeast India simultaneously.
However, Monsoon surge first has to reach Kerala, for declaring the onset. It has been a tricky situation this time. According to weathermen at Skymet Weather, weather conditions in Northeast India are almost akin to that of Monsoon pattern.
So far, the Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) has covered significant parts of Bay of Bengal. Thus, wind pattern over the region has also changed. It has been raining profusely over Northeast India for last many days.
Meteorologists are of the view that prevailing weather pattern is that of typical Monsoon rains. Winds are already turning easterlies. In fact, a well-marked trough is seen running from West Uttar Pradesh to West Bengal. Besides this, there is a cyclonic circulation prevailing over Bangladesh for last many days. Both are the prominent features of the Monsoon.
“Monsoon covers Northeast simultaneously, but we are stuck with the fact that the surge first has to cover Kerala. Back in 2011, Monsoon had covered Kerala and South Andaman Sea simultaneously on May 29, even when it reaches Andaman Sea first. Hence, we can say that exceptions are there. To us, it looks like that Monsoon has already covered Bay and same air mass is reaching entire Northeast India. All the criteria of temperatures, humidity and rainfall are meeting,” said G P Sharma, President- Meteorology and Climate Change, Skymet Weather.
However, as per the standards for declaring the onset of Monsoon, it must fulfill the criteria of winds, OLR (Outgoing Longwave radiation) and rainfall over Kerala.
