New Delhi, June 25: Although the Monsoon has covered much of the peninsular and north-eastern India, rainfall has remained way below adequate so far, with the western coast yet to brace heavy rains of the season. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday confirmed the onset of Monsoon in Mumbai -- but the city did not witness any amount of precipitation since the morning.

"Southwest monsoon has further advanced into remaining parts of central Arabian Sea, Konkan and Maharashtra, some parts of north Arabian sea and south Gujarat and some more parts of Madhya Pradesh," stated IMD in its All India Weather Summary And Forecast Bulletin. Monsoon 2019 Forecast in India: Know Date & Progress of Rainfall This Season Across The Country
