The month of June is off to an unexpectedly cool and rainy start across most of India. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall and storm activity, making this summer feel less harsh than usual in many parts of India.

In south India, especially in Kerala and its Mahe region, is seeing heavy to very heavy rainfall. The monsoon is already showing its full strength in these areas, bringing relief from the summer heat.

In the Northeast, states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are also expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places.

Several northern states including Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and western Uttar Pradesh are likely to experience strong winds up to 60 kmph and thundersqualls.
