The India Meteorological Department has delayed the expected arrival of the southwest monsoon in Mumbai by nearly two weeks due to a sluggish advance across western India. While Mumbai's normal monsoon onset date is June 11, the delay has already triggered a water crisis in parts of Maharashtra.
Weather experts attribute this slowdown to the absence of strong, moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea, which are essential for pushing the monsoon northward along the Konkan coast. This lack of wind has stalled the monsoon's progress across western and southern India, although Chennai has experienced heavy rainfall.
