Early onset of monsoon in HP likely by June 20–21

Shimla, June 18 (UNI) The Southwest Monsoon is advancing faster than usual and is likely to cover many parts of Himachal Pradesh by June 20 to 21, about a week ahead of its typical onset date, the weatherman said today.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirmed that the favourable conditions are in place, driven by changing climatic factors such as a transition from El Niño to La Niña, an active Madden-Julian Oscillation, and a western disturbance currently hovering over Punjab and adjoining regions.
As per Wednesday’s data, light to moderate rain continued in many parts of the state, further cooling the region after a long heat spell. The highest rainfall was recorded in Sundernagar (5 mm), followed by Bhuntar and Gohar (3 mm each), Mandi, Banjar, Rohru, Sarahan, Seobagh, and Jogindernagar (2 mm each), and Kasauli, Manali, Baijnath, and Keylong (1 mm each). The IMD has issued an orange alert from June 23 onwards, warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places, particularly in mid-hill and low-hill areas.
