The Northeast Monsoon also gives some very good rain in Kerala and other parts of South India. Since the beginning of the season, Kerala rains remain the talk of the town. This year too the Northeast Monsoon in the state has panned out exactly as expected. Good rains have been lashing Kerala since the onset of the Northeast monsoon in Kerala.
In the last 24 hours too the Northeast Monsoon has resulted in light to moderate rain with a few heavy spells in Kerala.
City-wise, Kannur has recorded 85 mm of rainfall, Kochi 26 mm, Kozhikode 25 mm, Alappuzha 17 mm in a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Thursday. However, the intensity the rain has been low as compared to other parts of the southern peninsula such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.
According to our meteorologists, the Deep Depression over the Arabian Sea has intensified into Cyclone Kyarr and is moving in a west/northwest direction, away from the Indian Coast. Moreover, the Depression over the Bay of Bengal has weakened into a Low-Pressure Area and is currently lying over Coastal Odisha.
As the systems are continuously moving away, their impact has reduced over the southern peninsula. But, light to moderate rain with one or two heavy spells would continue in Kerala for another 24 hours, as an after-effect of these systems.
By October 27, as these weather systems would move away further, the rainfall activities would reduce and only on and off rains are likely thereafter.
After three to four days, the Northeast Monsoon would again become active leading to an increase in the weather activities in Kerala. During this period, moderate to heavy rains would return to the state which may lead to flash floods and waterlogging in some parts.
