Monsoons begin with a bang in Mangalore..

As predicted 4th of June in your area. We are far too behind but the weather is pleasant as we get a slight drizzle or thunderstorm with showers every day. The standard Monsoon time in our area is last week of June. It's a nice feeling that Monsoon has arrived in our country dot at time.

It is always a celebration when the monsoons begin after months of sultry summer heat. I am really enjoying the first showers ...I am sure that in another weeks time the monsoon will cover the entire nation ..

Because of the searing heat wave all over the country, all are looking badly for the arrival of monsoons. Sadly, this year's Monsoon is likely to be very less according to IMD.

Anything less than 80% is considered drought situation and with a predicted 81% average rainfalls this year, is is a near drought situation.Let us keep our fingers crossed hoping that this time the predictions dont hold good...

Even in coastal town of Puri, Odisha, met department predicted on fifth of this month there would be arrival of pre-monsoon rain, but surprisingly at the dawn nice showers and cool winds surrounds here, welcome rain. 

Weather man already said that India is heading towards severe drought.

Thats good to hear since the heat in the past weeks has been intolerable and these showers are much needed and so very welcome ..I took a picture today of the first rains as it came down but am unable to upload it here.

Heat waves may be reduced to some extent due to the showers. But the overall drought conditions are going to continue leading to severe food shortage.

Right, but if you click on the image it will get bigger.

I also visited Mangalore in rainy season once upon a time. I can't able to catch the bus to shimoga in time due to heavy rain but i enjoyed the trim and returned back.

Seems like it has rained in most parts of the country. We too had quite heavy showers today early morning around 5 am accompanied with lots of thunder and lightning. I only hope that this bout of rain stays for a longer time.

In AP, drizzling was there yesterday . The cool breeze has given much relief from the searing heat wave. On the whole rainfall is scanty.

To day for two hours it rains heavily, and welcome pre monsoon and hope to drive away such heavy summer and high humidity.
