New Delhi, June 27: Kerala, Delhi and many other parts of the country will soon have new onset dates for monsoon.
A team of 40 weather scientists are in the process of revising the normal onset dates for monsoon across the country.
However, according to Ajit Tyagi, Director General of India Meteorological Department (IMD), there will not be any significant difference and the new normal dates may vary only by one or two days.
As per the current datasets, June 1 is the normal date for the onset of monsoon over Kerala, while in Delhi it is June 29. When the new datasets are introduced this could vary by one or two days.
Scientists felt the need for revising the normal onset dates for south west monsoon as they were based on limited data of less than 40 years.
