North East Monsoon

Tamil Nadu received widespread rains across the state, with the southern districts recording heavy showers on Thursday, as the North East Monsoon intensified.

Pre-monsoon activity is predicted over east Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha from June 12, but north Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and North MP will continue to see above-normal temperatures till June 15, IMD said.

Monsoon Enters North-East: The Bay of Bengal arm of the south-west monsoon has stirred into action and entered north-eastern parts of the country and is set to bring heavy rains over Assam and Meghalaya over the next two days.

Tamil Nadu has recorded 50 per cent plus rainfall above normal during the ongoing North East monsoon season from October 1 till date and 53 of the 90 key reservoirs crossed 76 per cent storage, authorities said.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday directed senior officials and district collectors to take appropriate precautionary measures to prevent flooding and minimise losses owing to the North East Monsoon.

Heavy rainfall activity is expected over north and east India during the next three-four days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.

The southwest monsoon is likely to be normal in north and south India, above-normal in central India and below-normal in east and northeast India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.

Delhi rain: Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the national capital and neighbouring areas. There is moderate risk of flash floods in the next 24 hours in north Chhattisgarh, east Madhya Pradesh, west Madhya Pradesh, and adjoining areas of Rajasthan and south Gujarat, according to the Central Water Commission.

Weather update: In its latest weather alert, the India Meteorological Division (IMD) has said, "Heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places over Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, North Punjab, West Uttar Pradesh, East Rajasthan, East Madhya Pradesh, Coastal and South interior Karnataka and Kerala are expected."

The weather office today confirmed that the crucial north-east monsoon has set in across southern India. "The north-east monsoon has set in in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, south Andhra Pradesh areas, Kerala and Karnataka," regional weather office director Balakrishnan said in Chennai.

Heavy showers lashed large swathes of the country on Sunday, with nine more people dying in rain-related incidents in Rajasthan, while there was no let up in the flood situation in Assam and Bihar where the deluge has claimed 209 lives this monsoon season.

Monsoon reaches parts of North India, including east Rajasthan and West Uttar Pradesh and is likely to hit Delhi in the next 24-48 hours, says India Meteorological Department (IMD)

Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu continue to receive heavy rainfall as the North East monsoon intensifies.

While rains this season were generous on Rajasthan, at 105 per cent the expected level, not all of the state was as lucky. Nine districts, especially in east and north Rajasthan, have suffered as the monsoon has been at 45 per cent deficit.

The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) today said this year's North East monsoon, which is likely to set in on October 30, was expected to be "near normal" one.
