Delhiites experienced warm weather conditions on Monday with the maximum temperature settling at 37.8 degrees Celsius, two notches below the season's average.

Weather officials told Reuters that monsoon onset over southernmost Kerala coast is delayed by another two-three days due to the formation of cyclonic storm in the Arabian sea which had reduced cloud cover over the Kerala coast.

“The development of cyclonic circulation over the southeast Arabian Sea has been pulling moisture out of Kerala coast,” a senior IMD official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
