Monsoon likely to hit Odisha coast by Jun 1st week

Bhubaneswar: Monsoon likely to hit Odisha coast by Jun 1st week. This was informed by the IMD Bhubaneswar director Sarat Sahu.
The southwest monsoon advances over the Andaman sea usually around May 20 with a standard deviation of about a week, but recent formations of cyclonic circulation over the sea have sped the monsoon.
It also resulted in an early onset of monsoon in parts of southeast Bay of Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar islands.
The forecasts of the monsoon onset issued during the past 12 years (2005-2016) were proved to be correct for all years except 2015.
