Furthermore IMD's regional weather forecasting chief Kuldeep Srivastava said the monsoon reaches delhi by June 29 and since there's a delay in its onset in the southern peninsula, the wind system is likely to take two-three days longer to reach northwest india". He said "The good is news is the factors that aid the progress of the monsoon, including the southwesterly winds and the Somali jet stream, are gradually becoming active”.



Moreover Northwest india is likely to witness normal rainfall during the monsoon season, Srivastava said. However, Mahesh Palawat, senior vice president and meteorologist at Skymet Weather, said, "It's difficult to say when will it reach delhi exactly, but it's expected to get delayed by at least one week.
