Northeast Monson 2017 has finally made onset over South Peninsula on October 27, although a delayed one. All thanks to the cyclonic circulation over Southeast Tamil Nadu, this made the weather conditions favorable for the arrival of the three-month-long season.
Tamil Nadu including Chennai records more than 60% of its annual rainfall during the Northeast Monsoon that spans from October to December. Though the season sets in sometime between the second and third week of October and this year, the onset has been delayed.
