The Indian Meteorological Department revised its monsoon map on Wednesday, showing rainfall over southern states while the capital region of Delhi recorded no precipitation.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an updated monsoon outlook on Wednesday, indicating that rain showers have moved into several southern states, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. At the same time, the capital city of Delhi recorded no measurable rainfall, marking a dry spell in the north.
The revised map reflects the uneven progression of the southwest monsoon, which often reaches the southern peninsula earlier than the northern plains. Meteorologists noted that while the south is experiencing intermittent showers, the central and northern regions, including Delhi, are yet to see significant precipitation.
IMD officials cautioned that the pattern could change in the coming days, urging residents in affected areas to stay prepared for localized flooding, while those in dry zones should monitor updates for any shift in weather conditions.
The update comes as the country approaches the peak monsoon period, with authorities closely tracking rainfall distribution to manage water resources and agricultural planning.
