A new cyclonic storm, named Cyclone Yaas, is expected to start forming in the Bay of Bengal by May 22, informed RK Jenamani, senior scientist, National Weather Forecasting Centre, India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday.

After few days of 'good' air quality in the national capital, the pollution level has gone up due to local factors, officials said today.

Many parts of India are set to receive heavy to very heavy rains over the next two days, the Indian Meteorological Department said today.

India's monsoon rainfall has been below average in the past week after running through a phase above average since early August which helped finish the last leg of sowing of main summer crops such as rice, corn, sugar cane, soybean and cotton.

India saw 18 percent more rain than average in the week ended Aug. 6, the weather office said on Thursday, raising hopes for a better end to the four-month monsoon season after a dry start.

India's monsoon rains reached the southern Kerala coast on Friday, weather officials said, offering relief to farmers who have been waiting eagerly for the start of the wet season that is crucial for their summer crops.
