Skymet had earlier predicted the onset of monsoon over Kerala on June 7 (three days back and forth).

Wind speed reaching 40 to 50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph very likely over Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra Coasts. The department says that the wind speed is expected to remain like this for four days.
Late monsoon will not affect even the average figure of rain
Due to Biparjoy, two consecutive days of rain are necessary in the coastal areas of Lakshadweep, Kerala, and Karnataka. However, the Meteorological Department says that the delayed arrival of monsoon in Kerala does not mean that it will reach other parts of the country late. It will also not affect the average rainfall figure in the country.

Rain more important for India's agriculture sector
A few days back, the IMD had said that the southwest monsoon is expected to bring normal rains over India due to El Nino. There are chances of less than normal rainfall during the North-West Monsoon. Whereas, the East, Northeast, Central, and South Peninsula are likely to see normal rains. Normal rainfall is more important in the agriculture sector of India. 52 percent of the cultivated area depends on the general area. This is important for power generation as well as for drinking water.
It was estimated to be hotter than normal
The Meteorological Department has predicted higher temperatures from April to June in most areas of the country, except in the northwest and peninsular regions. During this period, above-normal heat is expected over most parts of central, east, and northwest India.
Now, know what happens in El Nino and La Nina
