As per Skymet Weather, a trough was extending from South Madhya Maharashtra to Lakshadweep Island across coastal Karnataka. This weather system gave these rains over all the three above mentioned states.
However, now, a cyclonic circulation is seen over North Kerala. Thus, Kerala may brace for some good rains for the next 4-5 days. Moreover, a trough is extending from Interior Odisha to South Tamil Nadu across Rayalaseema and South Interior Karnataka. Hence, Karnataka and Lakshadweep Island may also record some good rains.
