IMD Forecasts Monsoon To Arrive In Kerala In Next 2-3 Days Published By, Last Updated: June 01, 2026, 18:44 IST The IMD had earlier forecast the monsoon’s arrival over Kerala on May 26, but later revised its timeline after delays.
One reason behind the below-normal rainfall this year could be the emergence of El Nino conditions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday said the southwest monsoon is likely to reach Kerala in the next two to three days, marking its gradual advance over parts of the southern region.
The weather office said conditions are favourable for further progress of the monsoon into parts of the southwest and southeast Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
It also said the system is expected to advance into parts of the Bay of Bengal and adjoining regions during the same period.
