NEW DELHI: The much-awaited south-west monsoon finally arrived in Delhi, bringing down the
temperatures sharply, much to the delight of the citizens who had been going through a torrid
time, following a severe heat wave that swept the city for days . (The normal date for the onset
here is June 29.)
Speaking to The Hindu, a relieved Director General of the India Meteorological Department, Ajit
Tyagi said the system had covered almost every other part of north India. “The monsoon has
now covered almost 95 per cent of the country. Only some pockets are still to be covered,” he
said.
Asked about the prospects for the coming days, he said the monsoon would remain active
across the country at least for the next one week, although its intensity would vary from region to
region.
