After a delay of five days, the southwest monsoon finally covered the entire country on Tuesday after Delhi-NCR, which had so far felt no impact of the rains, experienced showers.
 
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the southwest monsoon usually covers the entire country on July 8. Previously, the normal date for the monsoon to cover the entire country was July 15, but last year the IMD revised its onset date for several areas. Monsoon reaching the national capital in the end has, over the past few years, become a usual phenomenon.
