The south-west monsoon remained stalled for a fifth day on Tuesday along a track linking Mumbai with Ahilyanagar, Adilabad, Bhawanipatna, Puri, Sandhead Island, and Balurghat across West, Peninsular and East and North-East India.
European Centre for Medium-Term Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) says it can be expected to resume full throttle during the first two weeks of July, normally the rainiest of the four monsoon months. The Bay of Bengal will likely spring back to life with a circulation popping up off the Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh coasts.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates the possibility of monsoon trying to revive in fits and starts in between during the current month (June). This will happen with a trough from an incoming western disturbance dipping south across south-west Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and coastal Andhra Pradesh.
