NEW DELHI, June 16 (Xinhua) -- After bringing bountiful showers to most parts of the country, monsoon arrived in the Indian capital Sunday about a fortnight ahead of schedule.
Large parts of the national capital have been experiencing light to moderate rainfall since this morning, and scattered showers are to continue till tomorrow, according to the country's weather office.
"The temperature has also gone down heavily much to the relief of many from the scorching summer heat. Monsoon has arrived virtually in northern India as many states in the region have been lashed by heavy rains ahead of schedule," a senior official said.
The India Meteorological Department had earlier predicted that monsoon would hit the city on June 29.
