(SkyMet) According to the
latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the advancement
of Monsoon has slowed down a little after arriving before schedule in the
Andaman Sea on 18th of May. It has been five days since the onset of Monsoon
over the Andaman Sea but its progress has been a little sluggish in the last
couple of days. Going by its progress, Sri Lanka which usually receives Monsoon
by 25th May could miss the date as the Monsoon line is far from it at the
moment.
As per the latest weather
update, in the last 24 hours, Monsoon has entirely covered Southeast Bay of
Bengal. It has advanced to some more parts of southwest Bay of Bengal and
eastcentral Bay of Bengal, some parts of westcentral and northeast Bay of
Bengal. However, weather conditions remain conducive for its further progress
over some more parts of southwest Bay of Bengal and northeast Bay of Bengal
during the next 24 hours.
Weathermen at Skymet are of
the view that prior to the onset, weather systems such as the current
depression in the Bay of Bengal will help the cross equatorial flow to
strengthen, after which the strong southwesterly winds will sweep across Kerala
coast, announcing the arrival of Monsoon.
The map in the article
shows that after its on time arrival, the eastern arm of the Monsoon has made
more progress than the western arm and has reached Myanmar early this year. The
green line shows the actual Monsoon line which indicates that the eastern arm
of Monsoon line has already entered Myanmar and is close to northeastern
states, while the western arm has covered some parts of southwest Bay of
Bengal. The red-dotted Monsoon line in the map has been drawn by Skymet
Meteorology Division in India.
