Monsoon Retreat

Monsoon started withdrawing from India on Monday, eight days after the normal date of September 17, the India Meteorological Department said.

The southwest monsoon withdrew from the entire country on Monday, making it the seventh-most delayed retreat since 1975, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The withdrawal of the Southwest Monsoon commenced on Wednesday and it receded from some parts of West Rajasthan and adjoining Gujarat, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

The south-west monsoon has withdrawn from Punjab and Haryana, leaving the two states with deficit rainfall, the meteorological department said on Thursday. Chandigarh, the common capital of the two states, also received 7 per cent less rain, an official of Chandigarh's Meteorological Department said.

The southwest monsoon retreated from parts of west Rajasthan and Punjab on Monday, 11 days after his normal withdrawal date, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

The southwest monsoon is set to retreat from parts of north India in the next two days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday, while data suggests that the rainy season is most likely to end on an above-normal note.

The June-September monsoon rains in the country are likely to start withdrawing from the northwest region from October 10, marking the most delayed retreat of the seasonal rainfall, the Indian Meteorological Department said today.

The monsoon generally begins in June and starts to retreat by September 1, but rains have continued beyond that date this year and triggered floods, killing hundreds.

The country relies heavily on the monsoon for irrigation, though crop damage and delayed harvests can result if the rainfall persists.

Monsoon rains usually arrive on the southern tip of Kerala state around June 1 and retreat from Rajasthan by September

Monsoon rain will arrive in Kerala on June 6, the Met department said today. The rains, that replenish India's farm-dependent economy, arrive on the southern tip of Kerala around June 1 and retreat from Rajasthan by September.

Schools and colleges will remain shut in Punjab on Tuesday due to heavy rain, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said today. Heavy rain the state has led to rise in water level in the downstream areas of Sutlej, Beas and Ravi rivers.

The monsoon may start to retreat from first week of September or may be early next week, Indian Meteorological Department's chief LS Rathore told NDTV, even as the countrywide rain deficit grew to 12 per cent for the season.

Taking a tough stand, Congress president Sonia Gandhi today directly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said her party would continue protests in Parliament until the ruling BJP agreed to remove its leaders caught in controversies.
