The aberrant behaviour of the Indian monsoon in June 2009 [1]

After an early onset over Kerala on 23 May 2009, further advance of the monsoon over the Indian region was delayed by about two weeks with the monsoon restricted to the west coast and southern
peninsula until 24 June. This resulted in a massive deficit in the all-India rainfall of 54% of the long term average for this period.
