Five weather systems, led by a well-marked low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, are keeping India's monsoon active, says the IMD. Extremely heavy rain is likely over Konkan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha over the next few days.

India recorded one of its driest Junes in 146 years as the southwest monsoon stalled despite arriving on time. The rains have since revived in some regions, but the science of the stall reveals why much of the country stayed dry.
