The southwest monsoon is likely to hit Mumbai between June 23-25, the India Meteorological Department said on Wednesday. It was delayed by ten days due to cyclone Biparjoy.

S G Kamble, head of the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Mumbai, said the monsoon reached coastal Ratnagiri on June 11, but it was unable to make any further progress due to cyclone Biparjoy, which made landfall near Jakhau on the Kutch coast of Gujarat last Thursday.
