It was back in 1961 when these two Indian cities recieved monsoon on the same day. After a huge span of 62 years, the southwest monsoon season made a grand entrance at these places on 25 June 2023, according to a report by the Indian Express. Over the years, it has been seen that the season enters Delhi usually on 27 June and the arrival date for Mumbai is 11 June, according to a report by Times Now News. But the dates have changed a bit in the national capital and financial capital this year. The India Meteorological Department stated that the monsoon entered Delhi two days prior to the expected date. This year, the season arrived in Mumbai late by exactly 2 weeks.
