Kerala Hit by Earliest Monsoon Since 2009 | IMD Predicts Above-Normal Rainfall for 2025

The monsoon has made an unexpected early entry into Kerala, hitting the state on May 23 — the earliest since 2009! According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), this early onset doesn’t necessarily signal earlier or heavier rainfall across the country, but it has set the tone for an intense weather season ahead. IMD has forecast above-normal rainfall for 2025 and dismissed El Nino fears. With India receiving 108% of average rainfall in 2024 — the highest since 2020 — this early arrival could mean big things for agriculture, water reserves, and the economy. #monsoon2025 #keralaweather #imd #rainfallforecast #climateupdate #indianmonsoon #weathernews #elnino #agricultureindia #rainalert #toibharat
