According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the extreme southern peninsular region of Tamil Nadu and Kerala is going to witness isolated heavy pre-monsoon rain during the next two days. There is also forecast of good showers across the region. After two days, the rain belt may shift northward to cover more parts of South India including south interior Karnataka, Rayalaseem and Tamil Nadu.
A cyclonic circulation lies south of Comorin area in the Indian Ocean and is approaching the coast. According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the weather system will move towards the Tamil Nadu coast during the next 48 hours, so the pre-monsoon rain which is being witnessed for the last couple of days, will continue. A trough ( region of intensified moist winds) extending from Comorin to interior peninsula will continue to give rain in these parts during the period.
The weather in North India over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand is also expected to prevail as the Western Disturbance will cause another rainy and cloudy day over several places in these states. Some parts of northwest plains especially those in close proximity with the hills will also receive rain during the next 24 hours. Some of the areas in plains could also experience dust storms.
Pre-monsoon rain will also continue in northeastern states as the region is observing two cyclonic circulations, one over over Bangladesh and another over sub-Himalayan West Bengal. These weather systems have been able to keep the weather rainy as winds are southwesterly and filled with enough moisture to bring rain.
