Southwest monsoon advances over Andaman and Nicobar Islands

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday declared the onset of monsoon over the Andaman Sea, six days ahead of its normal schedule.This year, the early monsoon has been attributed to Cyclone Asani which brought in plenty of moisture over the region. In recent days, the cross-equatorial flow too had picked up, aiding the monsoon currents to progress over the Andaman Sea earlier than normal. “Southwest Monsoon has advanced into some parts of South Bay of Bengal, most part of Andaman Nicobar Islands and Andaman Sea today, the 16th May, 2022,” stated IMD release.
