The past 24 hours were also of not much difference as many parts of Kerala and Karnataka have witnessed Monsoon rain and thundershowers activities. In spite of these enduring rains, Kerala is still rain deficit by 20 percent and Karnataka by 16 percent.
In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, Kottayam recorded a good 27 mm of rains, followed by Hassan 27 mm, Chitradurga 25 mm, Agumbe 12 mm, Vijayapura 11 mm, Bengaluru 7 mm, Kochi 7 mm, Alappuzha 2 mm and Mangaluru a mere 1 mm of rains.
These rains can be attributed to a north-south trough, which is extending from Interior Odisha to South Tamil Nadu across Telangana and Rayalaseema. In addition to this, a cyclonic circulation is marked over south-central Arabian Sea off Karnataka Coast.
