The monsoon reached its final destinations in Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab on July 2, 2024, compared to the normal date of July 8.
The monsoon arrived in Kerala and the northeastern region on May 30, two and six days earlier than usual.
It progressed normally up to Maharashtra but then lost momentum, delaying rains in West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, and exacerbating a scorching heat wave in northwest India.
From June 11 to June 27, the country recorded 16 days of below-normal rainfall, resulting in an overall below-normal precipitation in June, with 147.2 mm of rainfall compared to the normal 165.3 mm, making it the seventh lowest since 2001.
June rainfall accounts for 15 per cent of the total precipitation of 87 cm recorded during the four-month monsoon season in the country.
