After being stuck over south India for so long, once the southwest monsoon reached Mumbai, it really got a move on!
The monsoon covered the whole of India yesterday, advancing into the remaining parts of Rajasthan around 12 days early. The monsoon normally doesn't cover the entire country until the middle of July.
It's a relief for India's farmers. However, the situation is grim in India's northeast where non-stop monsoon rain has caused severe flooding. Around 300,000 people in Assam have been affected by floods. Assam is traditionally a very flood prone area during the monsoon.
The whole of India's northeast, including Darjeeling, receives very heavy monsoon rain and is best avoided during this time of the year.More About the Monsoon in India:
