Low pressure systems to keep monsoon active till Sept end

Friday was the expected date for the start of monsoon retreat, but it is likely to stay energised till at least the end of this month. "The monsoon is not likely to withdraw by the end of this month due to the likely formation of two cyclonic circulations over the Bay of Bengal and their west-northwestward movement across central and adjoining northwest India," said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, head of IMD.
