Abstract

THE India Meteorological Department (IMD) is set to revise the dates of monsoon onset and withdrawal over the country. Between 1941 and 2000, there has been a shift in monsoon activity, with arrival and withdrawal delayed by seven to 10 days. Ajit Tyagi, director general of IMD in Delhi, made the announcement in the first week of October. It comes in wake of a report prepared by Tyagi and S D Attri, deputy director general meteorology (international) at IMD. It shows that maximum deviation from normal dates (average of dates of several years) was observed in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, with showers arriving about seven to 11 days later than usual.
