New Delhi:The Southwest Monsoon has arrived over #Kerala, exactly on the day it was predicted to hit the coastal state, the India Meteorological Department.

Heavy rain in #Kerala since morning owing to low pressure formed over Arabian sea. Met department says low pressure area might turn into depression and then into a cyclone which is very likely to move nearly northwards and reach north Maharashtra and Gujarat coasts by June 3
