While coastal Kerala will observe slightly better conditions, remaining parts of Kerala are likely to reel under humid conditions.
A low level circulation is seen over Comorin and adjoining South Tamil Nadu region. The circulation over Southwest Bay of Bengal and bordering southeast region persists, extending up to about 3.1 km.
The system will continue to give rains over South Tamil Nadu and some parts of North Tamil Nadu. The system will also provide fairly widespread rains over Kerala during the next 24 hours.
Isolated rainfall will also be observed over South Karnataka, adjoining coastal Karnataka, and a few pockets in coastal Andhra Pradesh. Interior Andhra Pradesh is likely to remain hot and dry.
