The much- awaited South-West monsoon has finally arrived. The Indian Metereological Department announced that the system has set in over Kerala.
IMD spokesperson R.P. Yadav said the westerly wind flow over the Arabian Sea and South peninsula had strengthened and an off-shore trough along the Kerala -Karnataka coast and an east-west slow zone along 12 degree north latitude had formed.
During the next two to three days, it could reach the southern parts of Karnataka, after covering the remaining areas of Kerala and some more regions of Tamil Nadu.
There were some indications that the progress of the monsoon may become sluggish after June 4 because of the persistent flow of winds from the north-west towards Central India.
