The Summer Monsoon looks set to gain a foothold on the Indian Subcontinent within as little as a few days. Monsoon onset would open the summer rainy season, beginning in southern and eastern parts of the Subcontinent. The Monsoon normally advances quickly into northern and western India during the first half of June before finally reaching most of Pakistan by mid-July.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) tracks the Monsoon advance, beginning in May, then follows its withdrawal from the Subcontinent late in the summer. The IMD have forecast an onset date of June 3 in the southwestern India state of Kerala. Normal onset date here is about June 1.
