Many parts of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu have been witnessing rains from about last 24 hours and it is predicted that these rains are likely to continue over the states throughout the remaining days of the month.
In fact, the states of Kerala and Karnataka have witnessed rains ranging from light and moderate rain and thundershowers. Since last few days, most districts of these coastal states are observing the pre-Monsoon showers of varying intensity.

According to Skymet Weather, the formation of a cyclonic circulation is over South Arabian Sea. Due to this, weather conditions will remain favorable for rain and thundershower activities over Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for another 24-48 hours as well. In fact, light rainfall activities are also expected over Lakshadweep and South Arabian Sea.
In wake of this cyclonic circulation, moist winds from the Arabian Sea are increasing the moisture levels over these areas which have led to the intensification of rain and thundershowers activities over these regions in the last 24 hours and will continue for next 2-3 days.
In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Monday, Cochin received 27.0 mm of rainfall, Thiruvananthapuram 13.0 mm, Karipur 8.0 mm, Kozhikode 8.0 mm, Alappuzha 7.0 mm, Panalur 6.0 mm, Mysore 6.0 mm, Kottayam 5.0 mm and Kannur 4.0 mm.
Thus, pleasant weather conditions will continue over many parts of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. But, the intensity of rain over interior parts of these states is expected to reduce marginally from June 3.
