Monsoon Rain In India
Commuters cross a road during heavy monsoon rain in Kolkata, India, on May 26, 2025. The southwest monsoon arrives in Kerala on Saturday, May 24, eight days ahead of its usual onset date of June 1, marking its earliest appearance on the Indian mainland since 2009, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) says. A 24-hour red alert is issued for Mumbai amid heavy rain overnight and Monday morning after the southwest monsoon crashes into the Maharashtra capital a week early. Red alerts are also issued for the Thane, Ratnagiri, and Raigad districts. (Photo by Rupak De Chowdhuri/NurPhoto)
