Monsoon rains arrived in Kerala on May 24—eight days earlier than usual—marking the earliest onset in 16 years and offering hope for stronger crop yields and heatwave relief.
India’s southwest monsoon hit Kerala’s coast on May 24, the earliest arrival since 2009. This early onset—eight days ahead of the usual June 1 timeline—could bring a much-needed boost to the agricultural sector and relief from extreme heat. The monsoon, vital to India’s $4 trillion economy, supplies nearly 70% of the country's annual rainfall and supports nearly half of its unirrigated farmland.
It has already reached parts of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Mizoram, and is expected to spread to more regions in the next few days. Experts say the early arrival, combined with surplus pre-monsoon rain, may allow earlier sowing and increased yields of key crops like rice, corn, and soybeans. The India Meteorological Department predicts above-average rainfall this year, marking the second consecutive year of strong monsoon performance.
