Monsoon 2025: Early Surge, But Will July Sustain It? | Ep-37

In Episode 37 of the Skymet Podcast, AVM (Retd.) G.P. Sharma, President – Meteorology & Climate Change at Skymet, discusses the early onset and current progress of Monsoon 2025, which covered the entire country by June 29—nine days ahead of schedule. He highlights how both the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea branches played a crucial role in its advancement. While Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh have received above-normal rainfall, regions like Marathwada, Rayalaseema, Bihar, and Northeast India are still facing rain deficits. The episode also explores rainfall prospects for early July, the potential slowdown after July 11, and the possibility of a "Break in Monsoon" due to the northward shift of the trough line.
