Monsoon onset is highly variable year‐to‐year and difficult to predict. Here, Doppler radar data shed light on convective development in the days and weeks around the 2016 monsoon onset at multiple sites across India. We consider this convective development with relation to large‐scale dynamic and thermodynamic changes associated with onset.
