On Saturday, the southwest monsoon hit Kerala, marking its earliest arrival on the Indian mainland since 2009, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
This year, the Southwest Monsoon has set in over Kerala on May 24, eight days earlier than its normal onset date of June 1, said IMD.
Favourable monsoons help monsoon-dependent agricultural regions, citizens, and last-mile users to tackle extreme weather events and the impacts of climate change in a better way.
Favourable Monsoon has substantial economic benefits of government investments in monsoon-related weather and forecasting services, particularly benefiting farmers, livestock rearers, and fisherfolk.
These advancements, like those through the Monsoon Mission and High Performance Computers, have yielded significant returns, including improved crop yields, reduced losses from extreme weather events, and enhanced capacity to manage resources. (ANI)

Heatwave checklist: ORS, SPF 50 & zero afternoon outings
With temperatures reaching such harsh levels, doctors strongly advise staying indoors unless absolutely necessary, using SPF 50+ sunscreen and UV protective sunglasses. Hydration is critical – and just water is not enough It's June in NCR, and stepping out feels nearly impossible. Work, workouts, and even socialising can wait – the region is currently baking under the harsh sun. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert as temperatures soared to a scorching 48.9°C on Tuesday. According to IMD, NCR and several parts of northwest India are expected to experience continued extreme heat through the week. Some respite may arrive after June 12, but until then, heatwave precautions are crucial for survival. Doctors urge minimal exposure 'Ideally, it is not recommended to work outdoors during an extreme heatwave,' says Dr Saifa Latheef, Senior Consultant, Emergency Medicine, Sharda Care Healthcity, Greater Noida, adding, 'The risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke is especially high for the elderly and people with comorbidities. But if stepping out is unavoidable, ensure you are wellhydrated and take all necessary precautions.' She advises carrying large bottles of water or oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and wear a hat, cap, and sunglasses before stepping out. 'USE LIGHTWEIGHT MOISTURISERS, SUNSCREENS' The skin takes a major hit in such weather. Dryness, itchiness, and increased sensitivity are common outcomes of prolonged exposure. 'Skincare during extreme heat requires a focus on protection, hydration, and repair,' says Dr Garima Tyagi, Dermatologist, SENS Clinic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo 'Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ and limit direct sun exposure.' She also clarifies a common myth. 'Sweating doesn't hydrate the skin – it leads to dehydration, as sweat contains water and salt. Lightweight moisturisers help retain moisture without clogging pores,' she says, adding, 'Avoid using harsh cleansers and over-exfoliation, which strip natural oils and damage the skin barrier. Stick to gentle, sulfate-free cleansers, and exfoliate no more than twice a week.' Tips for working out during a heatwave Exercise only in the early morning or later in the evening/ night Hydrate before, during, and after your workout Use electrolyte-rich solutions (e.g., ORS, Electral) not just water Stick to mild to moderateintensity workouts Ensure proper ventilation if working out indoors Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing – Inputs by Dr Saifa Latheef 'UV exposure can cause irreversible damage to the eyes' The sun's UV rays can cause lasting harm not just to the skin, but also to the eyes. 'As far as the eyes are concerned, the eyelids, cornea, lens, and retina can all be irreversibly damaged by prolonged UV exposure,' warns Dr Samir Sud, Senior Eye Expert & Director, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, Delhi. He adds, 'UV rays can increase dryness, lead to ocular surface damage, and even raise the risk of eye cancer. A condition called photokeratitis inflammation of the cornea due to UV exposure can cause red, painful, watery. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change

Conditions favourable for monsoon to revive in Maharashtra, rest of India from June 13: IMD
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said Wednesday the conditions are favourable for the revival of the Southwest Monsoon in Maharashtra and the rest of India from June 14, after a dry spell following its early onset. After an early start in Maharashtra, the progress of the monsoon has been halted, and the northern limit lies along Ahilyanagar, earlier known as Ahmednagar, in the state. While the monsoon entered Maharashtra on May 25, its further progress has been stalled. 'Heavy rainfall is very likely over isolated places over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Coastal Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Marathwada. Winds with a speed of 40-60 k mph are also expected at places,' IMD said in a press statement. IMD also said Pune and its surrounding regions can start receiving rain from June 12 onwards. Major parts of the country, including North India, are yet to be covered by the monsoon. The onset of the monsoon took place on May 24 over Kerala as against its normal date of June 1. Excess rainfall for June A close look at the rainfall received across the country paints a different picture despite the slow progress of the monsoon. Barring a few districts in the North and Northeast, almost the entire country has reported excess rainfall in June than its normal. Major peninsular states like Maharashtra (1007 per cent), Karnataka (234 per cent), Telangana (341 per cent), and Madhya Pradesh (586 per cent) have also reported an excess of rainfall. Technically, the rainfall received by these states has been the monsoon rain, but the spatial distribution has become a concern. Most of the rain that the country has received is due to the low pressure created over the Arabian Sea and the Western Disturbances from May onwards. However, the Union Territory of Ladakh is the only place where the rains have been in deficit, and it has received 2 mm of rainfall as against the 2.4 mm. The absence of spatial distribution has farmers worried, with most holding their sowing activities in fear of the gap. 'For agriculture, we require both quantity as well as the distribution of the rainfall. The first week of June has seen heavy rain in many parts, but post that, the rains have all but disappeared,' said an IMD scientist.

Delhi News Live Updates: Maximum temperature likely to soar to 45 degree Celsius in Capital
Delhi News Today Live Updates: Third day in a row, the Capital city woke up to a warm morning, with the minimum temperature settling at 27.2 degrees Celsius, the India Meteorological Department said. On Monday, the IMD issued an orange alert till Wednesday, amid the ongoing heatwave. According to the IMD, very hot weather will persist in Delhi until at least June 12. Demolition drive launched in Bhoomiheen camp: Amid heavy police deployment, the authorities Wednesday carried out demolition drive in the Bhoomiheen camp in southeast Delhi 's Govindpuri. According to the officials, over 300 jhuggis will be destroyed built on government's land. 'We have deployed adequate police force, along with paramilitary forces, to carry out the demolition peacefully. No one will be allowed to breach law and order,' the official said. At the demolition site, bulldozers were seen razing houses to the ground. The action comes days after the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) pasted eviction notices on houses in the jhuggi-jhopri camp, warning 'encroachers' to leave the spot within three days, or face action. Gates, big drains planned along Yamuna to stem flooding during rain: Delhi will soon see 12 gates near the Yamuna and big drains to prevent flooding on roads during the monsoon. The Public Works Department (PWD) is doing this to prevent backwater flow from Irrigation and Flood Control (I & FC) drains to PWD drains and ultimately roads, this monsoon. In 2023, the Ring Road stretch from Vikas Marg from Indraprastha Bridge till the ITO intersection and stretch towards Kashmere Gate was flooded even after the rains stopped. The flooding happened after a regulator installed at the drain number 12 near IP Metro station broke, following which water from the Yamuna came onto the main roads.
