Pre-monsoon showers cool Tricity down; monsoon likely to arrive by June 22
Chandigarh: Pre-monsoon showers brought much-needed respite to the sweltering Tricity on Tuesday. The monsoon is expected by Sunday or Monday. "Pre-monsoon activity has started in Chandigarh.
The monsoon has reached Bihar, following which it will reach western Uttar Pradesh. If the current system continues, the monsoon will arrive in Chandigarh on June 22 or 23. However, if it gets stuck in Bihar or UP, then it may be delayed," director, Chandigarh Meteorological Department, Surender Paul, said.
According to the Chandigarh weather department, the monsoon arrives three days to a week after pre-monsoon showers begin, depending on the weather system.
The transition from pre-monsoon to monsoon depends on progressive shift in wind patterns (from easterlies to south-westerlies), humidity levels, temperature drops, increased cloudiness, and sustained rainfall.
With the monsoon arriving eight days ahead of schedule in Kerala, there is already a forecast of early monsoon in the Tricity. Normal to above-normal rainfall is likely during the forthcoming monsoon season.
