PUNE: Monsoon on Thursday missed Skymet's May 26 onset date over Kerala and is most unlikely to arrive over the coastal state even on May 27 (Friday), as suggested by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) in its forecast earlier this month.
A senior IMD official told TOI that though monsoon would not make an onset over Kerala on Friday, the top weather body had issued the May 27 onset forecast with a model error of plus or minus four days.
