Monsoon to Reach Mumbai Soon
The India Meteorological Department has forecast that the monsoon system could reach Mumbai in the next two or three days, following a fresh spurt in its activity. After remaining dormant for nearly two weeks, the system has now started advancing. The normal date for the onset over Mumbai is 10 June.
This has been the longest wait for the monsoon in two decades. Before this, the longest delay had been in 2005 when the monsoon hit the city on 19 June.
