Why India’s Monsoon Keeps Hanging Around | NDA and CDS Exam Paper | Why Monsoon is Delayed in India (Western Disturbance Effect) | NDA & CDS Geography Current Affairs

This video, aimed at students preparing for the NDA and CDS entrance exams, explains the geographical reason behind the delay in the withdrawal (retreating) of the South-West Monsoon in India, even past the typical mid-September mark [00:00, 00:10].

The main cause for the extended monsoon and heavy rainfall is the early arrival of the Western Disturbance (WD):

Normal WD Timing: The Western Disturbance, which causes rainfall in North-Western states, typically arrives in the month of January [00:31, 00:43].

2025 Anomaly: In 2025, the Western Disturbance arrived early in states like Punjab, Haryana, J&K, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and West UP [00:49, 01:00].

The Effect: This early WD is supporting the South-West Monsoon, delaying its retreat (which normally begins by September) and pushing it further, even causing it to cross the Himalayas into Tibet [01:13, 01:23].

Consequences: This delay is causing continuous heavy rainfall and incidents like cloud bursts in regions like Uttarakhand [01:29].
