Pre-Monsoon activity over Kerala including the southernmost city of Thiruvananthapuram has been fairly good this month. The capital city of Kerala has been witnessing good amounts of rain during the last few days.
The last 24 hours were also very rainy for the city as three-digit rains were recorded over the region. In the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, Thiruvananthapuram recorded a whopping 100.2 mm of rainfall.
These rains were attributed to the presence of a cyclonic circulation over Comorin region which has been causing rainfall activity over the region. The trough extending up to Kerala has also been responsible for bringing in rains over the region.
The monthly rain for the city for the month of May stands at 191.6 mm and so far, the city has already been able to record a good 183 mm in just about two weeks.
