The IMD predicts that the monsoon will advance into Madhya Pradesh by June 15. Subsequently, it will gradually reach Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Kashmir by June 25 and cover the entire country by July 8. While some respite from the heat is anticipated in the coming days, complete relief will be experienced only with the monsoon’s arrival.
In southern Bengal, the monsoon typically arrives 8-24 days after its onset in Kerala.
