Heavy rains lash parts of Peninsular India, intensity to reduce over next few days

In the last 24 hours, most parts of Peninsular India have received very good rainfall. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, and south interior Karnataka received more than 100% of normal rains in last 24 hours. Good rains in the region have given way to pleasant weather conditions with temperatures settling at par or below the normal.

Only Lakshadweep Islands, coastal Karnataka, and Telangana were the 3 sub-divisions in Peninsular India which received subdued rainfall activity.

By the end of July, rainfall deficit for Peninsular India read 20%. But a marginal improvement was observed by August 22, when rainfall deficiency came down to 19%. But now, as per Skymet Meteorology Division in India, intensity of rain in the region is likely to reduce over many parts.

However, Andaman and Nicobar Islands will continue to receive moderate to heavy rainfall for another 2 to 3 days. Scattered rainfall will also be observed over coastal Andhra Pradesh, coastal Karnataka, south interior Karnataka, and Rayalaseema for another 2 days.

Thereafter, intensity of rain will reduce across Peninsular India and Telangana, coastal Karnataka, north interior Karnataka, and Kerala will remain deficient. In fact, barring coastal Andhra Pradesh, all other sub-divisions of Peninsular India will remain on the lower side of normal percentage of rainfall received.
