About — Monsoon Onset
Monsoon onset is the first measurable rise in rainfall that signals the start of the seasonal monsoon, typically marked by a sustained shift in wind direction and increased humidity. It is crucial for agriculture, water resources, and disaster preparedness across South and Southeast Asia. For example, in India the southwest monsoon usually begins over Kerala around June 1st.
