The much-awaited monsoon winds have started advancing towards the Konkan region, but will take a few more days to reach Mumbai, meteorologists have predicted. The delay in their advancement over the north Konkan region is likely caused due to Cyclone Biparjoy moving north.

Elaborating on the same, climatologist Rajesh Kapadia from private blog Vagaries of Weather said, “The cyclone (Biparjoy) is moving inland, disturbing the gradient along the West Coast, thus delaying the monsoon advancement beyond south Konkan.” According to Kapadia, the pre-monsoon showers will continue, but their intensity will reduce after Wednesday. “Mumbai may see the onset of monsoon after June 16,” he said, adding that the water level in lakes is currently at 11 per cent, which will last for a month.
