Popis: Instances of unusually early or late arrival of the southwest monsoon over the whole country or a large part thereof during the 15-year period 1943-57 have been studied with reference to the high level wind changes during the corresponding premonsoon months. The rapid weakening of the mean westerly components of the prevailing winds during April appear to be associated with early monsoon while their strengthening with late monsoon. Some typical cases are illustrated and discussed in the note. These may be of interest to a forecaster who has to make a long range forecast regarding the probable time of arrival of the monsoon in a particular year.
