Ashok sir,
Ya that’s true that monsoon has set in over andaman nicobar islands but rather than advancing towards kerala, those convective clouds are now going to become a cyclone I think & it may be going towards bangladesh & west bengal what you say? Whether it is monsoon clouds or cyclone?
Thanks
Monsoon has advanced and will advance further. There is a Well Marked Low Pressure in BOB. If the System moves North it will organize the Monsoon winds. The Eastern end of NLM is always at higher latitude than the Western end of NLM ( Northern Limit Of Monsoon)
