"The conditions are likely to become favourable for the onset of the Southwest Monsoon over Kerala around May 31. It is expected to hit Goa by June 5," senior IMD scientist Rahul M said here.
The usual date of the monsoon's arrival in Kerala is June 1, while Goa gets first showers on June 6, he said.
The duration of its progress from Kerala to Goa can be shorter or longer depending on the conditions, he added.
The IMD had announced the Monsoon's arrival in Andaman and Nicobar Islands on May 21.
The impact of cyclone Tauktae is over and it will not have any more influence on Goa, the official said, adding that the impact of cyclone Yaas has also ended.
