Monsoon Revival Expected: IMD and Skymet Forecasts
The monsoon, which had slowed down, is expected to pick up again in mid-June.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Skymet, a private weather forecaster, have different views on when and how the monsoon will revive.
IMD suggests a system may form in the Bay of Bengal, potentially bringing rain to central and southern India.
Skymet is more confident and expects a weather system to develop, impacting coastal areas.
Both agencies predict rain from June 12-18, with some areas expecting heavier showers.
Expect light rain in some areas and a brief pause before the monsoon strengthens.
IMD indicates potential monsoon revival between June 12 and 18.
Skymet forecasts a monsoon system forming in the Bay of Bengal.
Both agencies predict robust rainfall across central and south peninsular India.
Light to moderate rainfall is expected in Konkan, Goa, and Madhya Maharashtra.
Model accuracy diminishes beyond 4-5 days, requiring updates.
