January ends on a deficient note for Chennai, Bengaluru

Last week was slightly rainy for both the capital cities of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Both Chennai, as well as, Bengaluru witnessed some rains. However, the rainfall intensity over both these metropolitan cities was very light. In fact, Bengaluru only recorded traces of rain during this period.

These weather conditions are attributed to the trough of low which was extending from Bay of Bengal up to Tamil Nadu. The easterly wave had also activated during this period. However, now the weather system has moved away, resulting in the comeback of dry weather conditions.
