Cyclone Biparjoy:
The year’s first storm in the Arabian Sea, has quickly intensified into a severe cyclone, with meteorologists predicting a “light” monsoon onset in Kerala and “weak” progress beyond the southern peninsula under its influence, news agency PTI reported. Cyclone Biparjaya is the second named storm of the 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Cyclone Mocha, which was the first, formed in the Bay of Bengal and hit parts of Myanmar and Bangladesh in early May.

Landfall
Cyclone Biparjoy is likely to make landfall in Pakistan, the Met Office said earlier, with the depression located about 1,370 km south of Karachi as of June 7 morning. This will affect the arrival of monsoon in Mumbai, which is highly dependent on reservoirs that fill up after rains.
Impact on India
The IMD on Tuesday said the cyclone could affect the progress of monsoon in India. A senior IMD scientist said the cyclone will bring rain over the southern peninsula and create a depression over the Bay of Bengal.
“Cloud mass is concentrated around this system and sufficient moisture is not reaching the Kerala coast. Although the monsoon onset criteria may be met in the next two days, it will not be a torrid start,” said Mahesh Palawat, vice president (climate and meteorology), Skymet Weather. After beginning over Kerala, the monsoon will remain “weak” until the storm deteriorates around June 12, he said.
“A strong weather system over the Arabian Sea could spoil the progress of the deep inland monsoon. Under their influence, monsoonal currents may reach coastal areas but will struggle to penetrate beyond the Western Ghats,” Skymet said. Skymet had predicted the onset of monsoon in Kerala on June 7 with an error margin of three days.
