Every year, the whole country waits anxiously for the monsoon season to arrive. This year, the monsoon has been different and destructive.
The monsoon started later than usual due to unexpected interactions with cyclones and other weather systems lingering from earlier in the year.
Cyclone Biparjoy formed after the monsoon should have started, delaying the moon onset in Mumbai by two weeks. The monsoon also arrived in Mumbai and Delhi at the same time, which hadn’t happened in more than 50 years.
