Monsoon Hits Kerala 3 Days Before Schedule: Met Department | Read
The Southwest Monsoon hit Kerala today, three days before the schedule, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. The early arrival of the monsoon is expected to boost agricultural output in the world's fastest growing major economy. Monsoon delivers nearly 70 percent of rains that the country needs. This is the earliest start to the monsoon, the lifeblood of India's $2 trillion economy, since 2011.
