The state of Tamil Nadu has seen good downpours this Southwest Monsoon season. It is a strange wonder for the state, as it falls under the rain shadow region and thus, does not record much rainfall during the season.
In fact, the majority of the southern areas have been witnessing good showers, contrary to the prolonged dry spell across North and Central India.
In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Vellore recorded light rainfall of 12.2 mm, followed by the capital city Chennai recorded 4 mm, Kodaikanal 1.5 mm and Coonoor 1 mm.
These weather conditions can be attributed to a trough which is seen extending from Bihar up to Coastal Karnataka across Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema.
