By June 22, monsoon will start picking up again, says Skymet Weather

By June 21 and 22, monsoon will start picking up and by June 24 and 25 you will again start getting surplus rainfall for the rest of the month, said Skymet Weather.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Jatin Singh, founder and chief executive officer, said more or less, June is going to be at par. I don’t think there is too much to worry about.

“Monsoons are episodic in nature. The lull that you saw was because of a high pressure system that was sitting in Afghanistan and Baluchistan and that heated up north and central India, there were penetrating westerly winds that created a dust haze up north and that dried up the atmosphere,” Singh said.

“However, around June 21 and 22 that is going to weaken and you have already seen air mass changing. Delhi is not as warm as it was and Mumbai it has started raining. So signs are there by June 22, monsoon should pick up more and by June 24 and 25, you again will be what we saw in the initial part of June,” he added.
