The IMD officials have announced the onset of monsoon over Kerala on Thursday, despite concerns about the Biparjoy Cyclone affecting the start of the monsoon season along the southwestern coast.

The weather department has predicted strong winds and high waves along the Mumbai coast. The city is likely to experience scattered showers with occasional heavy rainfall due to the onset of the monsoon season later this week, the IMD said.

The storm is likely to cause gusts of wind and monsoon winds in the coastal regions of Gujarat and Saurashtra. Many regions in Gujarat are gearing up for the probable consequences of the cyclone.

The authorities have directed the fishermen of Porbandar to come back to the shore from the deep sea regions. The officials have initiated arrangements to relocate the inhabitants from vulnerable coastal regions.
