Heat Stress May Ease as Monsoon Arrives, But Expect a Slow and Weak Start

[City, State] – As temperatures soar across the country, many are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the monsoon season. While the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts the monsoon will likely reach Kerala on June 19, bringing much-needed relief from the scorching heat stress, experts warn it will be a slow and weak start.

The weak monsoon is expected to delay the arrival of significant rainfall in many parts of the country, potentially prolonging the heatwave in some regions. This could continue to pose challenges for public health, especially for vulnerable populations.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming monsoon:

Arrival: The monsoon is expected to reach Kerala on June 19, marking the official start of the season.
Intensity: The initial phase will be weak, meaning less rainfall than usual.
Impact: The delayed and weaker monsoon could exacerbate the heat stress in some areas, particularly in the northern and central parts of the country.

Stay Safe:

Even with the arrival of the monsoon, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest hours. Stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and follow the guidelines issued by health authorities.

While the monsoon brings hope for relief from the heat, it’s essential to be prepared for a slow and potentially weaker start.
