New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday declared the onset of monsoon over the national capital.
Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of the regional forecasting centre of the IMD, said the monsoon has advanced over some more parts of west and east Rajasthan, eastern parts of Haryana, Delhi, entire Uttar Pradesh and most parts of Punjab on Thursday.
According to weather experts, the earlier than usual arrival of the monsoon in Delhi can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which moved towards southwest Uttar Pradesh on June 19 and June 20, helping monsoon advance further.
