Moderate rains with one or two heavy spells have occurred over Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the last 24 hours.

In the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Maya Bandar recorded 16.0 mm of rain, Long Island 12.0 mm, Port Blair 1.0 mm, Hut Bay 8.0 mm, Nancowry 32.0 mm.

Now also, conditions are favorable for scattered rainfall activities for the next two to three days.

Intensity of these rains is mostly expected to remain light to moderate.

Currently, a feeble trough is seen extending from Southwest Bay of Bengal to Southeast Bay of Bengal which is responsible for these rains.

Generally, Monsoon arrives in Andaman and Nicobar Islands around May 20. Thereafter, it gradually moves in northwest direction over southwest and central Bay of Bengal.

Now, we can say that these on and off rains will continue over these islands till the onset of Monsoon.

Furthermore, in spite of these pre-Monsoon activities weather will remain warm and humid over almost all the islands. Day temperatures will be in mid 30s and night temperatures will be seen in mid 20s.
