Mumbai witnesses pre-monsoon rainfall

Although we often think of the monsoon in terms of Kerala's coastal weather, its arrival affects the whole country’s economy, agriculture, and water supply. Let’s see how.

Kerala’s geographical position is a significant factor influencing its climate, particularly its monsoon patterns.

This monsoon is a critical climatic phenomenon for the Indian subcontinent, as it brings much-needed rainfall to various regions.
