It is the first time since 2015 that the IMD has missed its onset call beyond the error margin
The southwest monsoon set in over Kerala on Thursday (June 4, 2026), the India Meteorological Department announced. This is three days later than the normal onset date of June 1, and four days behind the date the department had forecast.

After a delay of three days from normal onset date of June 1, southwest monsoon has set in over Kerala
IMD confirms southwest monsoon onset over Kerala on June 4, marking start of Indias rainy season, with widespread rain and alerts for heavy to very heavy showers in Kerala.
The southwest monsoon is set to reach the Kerala coast on June 4. IMD issues orange alert for Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, and Thrissur on Wednesday, warning of intense rainfall
The southwest monsoon onset in Kerala not only impacts local weather patterns but also plays a crucial role in shaping India's food security, agricultural GDP, and water supply across the nation.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall over Kerala during the next week.
One reason for the below-normal rainfall could be the emergence of El-Nino conditions, which lead to less rain during monsoon in the country
The civic authorities had recently advised educational institutions to clean their premises before the onset of the rainy season. During the exercise, workers entered the college union room and found two old suitcases
As power demand cooled, supply concerns eased as well: data from the Grid Controller of India showed that shortages during the last week ranged from zero to 0.36 million units, down from the 16 million units seen just a week earlier.
The IMD does not declare the onset of the monsoon based on rainfall alone. Instead, three key atmospheric conditions must occur simultaneously over Kerala and adjoining regions
The IMD had earlier predicted the onset of monsoon over Kerala on May 26
The govt has largely attributed the sudden rise in demand to the onset of the agricultural season, shifting demand from private OMCs to state-owned, and bulk consumers increasingly turning to retail pumps amid a price differential.
There are two factors that are likely to cause a delay or a weak monsoon onset over Kerala - a typhoon and a cyclonic circulation.
While heavy showers have already lashed parts of Kerala, the IMD says the technical conditions required to declare the official onset of the monsoon have not yet been fully met.
An analysis of southwest monsoon onset data from 1901 to 2025 reveals that the monsoon has predominantly advanced to May in recent decades due to various factors, including global warming
