This time the monsoon reached Kerala before time. Monsoon rains started in Kerala from 27 May itself. After this the monsoon progressed rapidly, but its speed slowed down due to the local climate.

According to the Meteorological Department, there has been 19 percent less rainfall than the average in the month of June, but there is a possibility of heavy rains across the country from July to the end of September.
