Monsoon arrives in Mumbai 12 days late; joint third-most delayed onset since 1950

This year, Mumbai's monsoon arrived 12 days later than usual, making it the third-most delayed onset since 1950. Contrasting sharply with last year's early arrival, this delay could impact agricultural activities, water supply, and urban planning. Such fluctuations highlight the increasing unpredictability of weather patterns, possibly linked to climate change, raising concerns about future monsoon behavior and its implications for the region's economy and infrastructure.
