The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that the southwest monsoon has covered the entire country on July 2, 2024, six days earlier than the normal date of July 8. After advancing into Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab today, the monsoon arrived in all parts of India ahead of schedule. This early onset follows delays in several states, impacting northwest India's severe heat wave. IMD forecasts above-normal rainfall in July, warning of potential floods in the western Himalayan states and central river basins due to heavy rains.
