New Delhi. There is relief news for the people suffering from scorching heat and heat across the country. The South-West Monsoon is now close to entering India and its first knock is likely to be on the Kerala coast. According to the Meteorological Department, favorable conditions are being created for the arrival of monsoon in Kerala, due to which many parts of the state may receive heavy to very heavy rainfall during the next few days.

Monsoon journey starts from Kerala

Every year the south-west monsoon first reaches Kerala and then gradually moves towards other states of the country. This is the reason why the entire country keeps an eye on the arrival of monsoon in Kerala. Monsoon not only provides relief from the heat, but is also considered very important for the agricultural sector. Sowing of Kharif crops largely depends on monsoon rains.

Warning of heavy rain in many districts

The Meteorological Department has expressed the possibility of heavy rain in many districts of Kerala. There is a possibility of excessive rainfall in a short period in some areas, which may lead to situations like waterlogging, disruption of road traffic and flooding in low-lying areas. The risk of landslides may also increase, especially in hilly areas. Experts say that in the initial phase of monsoon, many times excessive rainfall is recorded in a short period of time, which increases problems at the local level. Therefore, the administration and disaster management departments are already taking precautions.

Hope of relief for farmers

The arrival of monsoon is considered the biggest good news for farmers. Timely rains accelerate the sowing of paddy, maize, soybean and other Kharif crops. Monsoon can give a new impetus to agricultural activities amid the increased heat and drought-like conditions in many states for the last few weeks.

The country will get relief from heat

After the onset of monsoon in Kerala, its effect will gradually be visible in parts of South India, East India and then North India. Weather experts believe that the temperature will drop in many states in the coming days and people will get relief from the scorching heat.

While on one hand the arrival of monsoon brings relief, on the other hand it also brings challenges to heavy rains. In such a situation, it will be very important to pay attention to the warnings of the Meteorological Department and take necessary precautions.
