00:04May is usually the peak of the Indian summer, but this year the IMD, that is Indian Meteorological
00:09Department, just clipped the script.
00:11They are looking at an above normal rainfall forecast.
00:14110% of the usual average, but why?
00:18It's a perfect storm of cyclonic circulations, literally.
00:21And moisture-heavy winds from the Bay of Bengal.
00:23Hitting the North East and South India simultaneously.
00:26Assam, Meghale and Kerala are the full size.
00:28We are looking heavy to steady heavy rain fog.
00:31Wind speeds even 60 degrees.
00:33The silver lining?
00:34The spring monsoon surge is killing the heat waves in North India.
00:37Bringing much-needed relief to Delhi and Radhasthan.
00:40Is this an early monsoon? Not quite.
00:43But the Andaman Islands could see the official onset.
00:45As early as May 14th.
00:47Bottom line, keep your umbrellas handy.
00:50Check for local water logging alerts.
00:51Can you smell the rain in the air yet?
