The monsoon has made its delayed entry into Delhi, marking the first such occurrence since 2021. This is the 13th instance of a late monsoon arrival in the national capital over the past 26 years.
The much-anticipated monsoon rains have finally reached Delhi, but not without a delay. This year's arrival marks the first time since 2021 that the monsoon has entered the national capital late.
This delay is not an isolated incident. Records indicate that over the last 26 years, the monsoon has arrived late in Delhi on 13 separate occasions. The delayed onset this year continues this pattern.
The late arrival of the monsoon can have implications for water availability and weather patterns in the region. Further details on the extent of the delay and its potential impact are yet to be elaborated.
