Monsoon 2015 so far in TN, Telangana
Since the beginning of the Monsoon season, Tamil Nadu and Telangana were performing very well as multiple weather systems in the Bay of Bengal influenced the weather of these states. At the end of June, Telangana observed rainfall surplus of 59% and Tamil Nadu was at a surplus with 36%.
However, rainfall activity over these areas reduced significantly due to the absence of significant weather systems in the Bay of Bengal resulting in rainfall deficit by August 6. Telangana now stands staring a rainfall deficit of 26% and Tamil Nadu 3%.
Though, a marginal decrease in the rainfall deficiency is expected after few days due to the continuous rain.
