After some stubborn estimates, IMD recognized Monday that “this type of failure with a numeric model in the predictions of the Monsune for capital is rare and unusual”.
The previous IMD said Monsoon would be about Delhi on June 15, which would be 12 days early, but the wind system entered the “Break” phase.

Then, he said Delhi would get his first muson rain around July 10.
The weather department revised the estimate again on Saturday, said the rainy season could reach the capital in the next 24 hours.
But the wind system makes the city wait on Sundays and almost no rainfall on Monday too.
When Monsoon plays skiping in the area, Central Delhi is now the most rainy district in this country, only receives 8.5 mm rainfall against normal 132 mm since June 1, when the rainy season begins.
This has recorded a shortage of 94 percent.
Overall, Delhi has so far received 67 percent less rainfall than usual, put it in the category of “big deficiencies”.
IMD said it would continue to monitor the progress of the monsoon further into other parts of the country.
