Monsoon covers different parts of the northeast from June 3 to 10. For instance, its normal date to reach Agartala, Aizawl, Shillong and Imphal is June 1 and Gangtok in Sikkim is June 10.
Advancing further, the Southwest Monsoon covered the northeast region, nearly four days after its normal date, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
The Southwest Monsoon made an onset over Kerala, which marks the beginning of the four-month rainfall season, on June 3 after a delay of two days. Monsoon is expected to be normal this season as well as in June, a month critical for sowing.
The southwest monsoon is likely to advance into Odisha, Jharkhand, parts of West Bengal and Bihar, the IMD said, hinting at its good progress in the next 10 days.
“No heatwave conditions are likely in the country over the next five days,” the IMD said. Meanwhile, several parts of the country, including north India, are witnessing rainfall activity.
