The monsoon has reached Kerala, now it's expected to take about eight to ten days to move across Maharashtra, according to the Meteorological Department.

This means it will cover various regions of Maharashtra, including Mumbai, during that time frame.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the Southwest Monsoon reached the Kerala coast and progressed into parts of northeast India starting Thursday. This year, the Monsoon arrived two days earlier than its typical onset date of June 1. Kerala has already seen widespread pre-monsoon rainfall.

The southwest monsoon's arrival over the Indian mainland is signalled by its onset over Kerala. As it moves northward, regions it covers experience relief from intense summer heat.

Director General of Meteorology, IMD, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, said, "The South West Monsoon rainfall over the country is likely to be 106 per cent of the long-period average with a model error of 4 per cent. Thus, above-normal rainfall is most likely over the country."

As of now, there hasn't been any official announcement regarding the onset of the monsoon in Delhi. However, reports indicate that the monsoon will reach the national capital around June 27. IMD officials say monsoon showers will commence in Mumbai between June 8 and 10. Additionally, the IMD forecasts the arrival of monsoon in Karnataka's capital city around June 13 or 14.
