The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted above-normal rainfall this year in Andhra Pradesh. The exact date of the onset of the southwest monsoon in the State is yet to be known.
Director of IMD, Amaravati, S. Stella, said: “It is too early to talk about the arrival of the SW monsoon in the State, as it is based on its advancement from Kerala. We can only predict it two days in advance. However, we will see above-normal rainfall this year.”
She added that the monsoon usually covers Rayalaseema in the first week of June, and then the rest of the State by June 14.
