Prior to this, Monsoon will reach the Bay Islands and North Andaman Sea on May 20 and cover Sri Lanka and Central Bay of Bengal by May 24.

A low pressure area in the Arabian Sea is likely to push Monsoon along the West Coast and the interiors of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Pre Monsoon showers also are likely to pick up pace over South Peninsula prior to the onset of Monsoon which will be the deciding factor for the onset of Monsoon. This will be the earliest onset since the year 2010.
