India, June 3 -- While southwest monsoon is set to enter India via Kerala around June 4, Delhi's brief spell of pleasant weather is slowly beginning to lose steam, with India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a gradual rise in temperatures. Weather activity is also intensifying across western India, where Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra and Konkan-Goa are likely to witness thunderstorms, squalls and scattered rainfall amid advancing monsoon conditions.

The IMD on Tuesday said the southwest monsoon is likely to set in over Kerala around June 4, marking the formal beginning of the country's rainy season, even as large parts of India are expected to witness thunderstorms, gusty winds and heavy rainfall through the week.
