The Southwest monsoon rainfall over India, which had stalled for nearly two weeks after the early onset this year, is expected to become active again starting Thursday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places and extremely heavy falls at isolated places over south peninsular India during June 12-15 and over Konkan and Goa on June 13 and June 14.

IMD also predicts that heat wave conditions will persist over Northwest India, with severe heat wave conditions at isolated pockets over West Rajasthan until Thursday and then subside. The southwest monsoon arrived in Kerala on May 24, a week earlier than usual, marking its earliest arrival on the Indian mainland since 2009. The normal onset date for the southwest monsoon is June 1.

May 2025 was the wettest month since 1901 in India, with the country receiving an average rainfall of 126.7 mm. The early onset of the southwest monsoon brought continuous rainfall across southern and eastern India, contributing to this record. After a brief stall, the monsoon is expected to become active again starting Thursday, as per the IMD.

IMD has issued a seven-day warning for Karnataka, predicting widespread rainfall in nearly all districts until June 17. The Hubballi area in the Dharwad district of Karnataka experienced heavy rainfall early on Thursday, leading to massive waterlogging in several parts, especially in Hanashi village. Rainfall is expected to remain widespread in coastal and north interior Karnataka until June 17, with fairly widespread rainfall in south interior Karnataka until June 14 before becoming widespread for the next three days.
