With few heavy spells of rain in last 24 hours, Northeast Monsoon gained strength over Southern Peninsula. The much awaited Monsoon showered parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala with widespread rain and thundershowers that are likely to continue for next few days.
Easterly winds maintained its strength over South India along with thick cloud mass that gave heavy rain in Tamil Nadu. While Nagapattinam in TN received 90 mm of rain in past 24 hours, Chennai, Coonoor and Coimbatore received rain over 50 mm each in the same span.
Widespread rain was also observed in parts of Kerala with Thiruvananthapuram receiving rain of 80 mm in last 24 hours. Punalur and Kottayam both received rain over 30 mm respectively.
As low pressure in Bay of Bengal intensifies, heavy rain is expected to lash the coastal Tamil Nadu and Kerala for few more days.
