Monsoon Advances in India Amid Delayed Rainfall in Northern and Central Regions
India's southwest monsoon has officially advanced into many regions, but large parts of northern and central India continue to experience below-normal rainfall and high temperatures. Satellite imagery shows limited rain-bearing clouds over these areas, linked to the absence of strong low-pressure systems over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The India Meteorological Department forecasts that a developing tropical weather system in the Indian Ocean may soon enhance moisture transport, potentially reviving monsoon rains across the affected regions in the coming days.
