As per the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Maharashtra can expect the monsoon to arrive on June 10, advancing northward from the southern regions. From there, it will progress towards the northeastern states, making its way through West Bengal and eventually reaching Bihar. By June 15, the monsoon’s influence will bring rainfall to Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and the entirety of Bihar.

Meanwhile, the eastern parts of the country will experience an increase in heatwave conditions over the next 3-4 days. Heatwave alerts remain in effect for Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, East Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. In North-West India, including Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Western Uttar Pradesh, temperatures are predicted to remain 3-5 degrees above normal for the next five days.

With the monsoon’s advancement and the relief it brings, residents in the affected regions can anticipate a respite from the scorching temperatures and the much-needed arrival of refreshing rainfall.

In the next 36 hours, Cyclone Biparjoy is expected to intensify further
