Circulation-Induced Rainfall to Impact South India: Kerala and Tamil Nadu Coast on Alert
In the next 72 hours, South India is expected to witness a significant increase in rainfall activity, particularly along the Kerala and Tamil Nadu coasts. This weather development is attributed to an active circulation system over the region, bringing widespread moisture and instability to the coastal areas.
Rainfall Forecast for Kerala and Tamil Nadu
The circulation system is expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall across various parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Coastal areas will likely bear the brunt of the precipitation, with localized heavy showers in districts such as Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kanyakumari, and Chennai. Inland regions might experience light to moderate rain, but the intensity will gradually reduce as we move away from the coast.
This rainfall event is expected to impact transportation, especially in low-lying areas prone to waterlogging. Residents are advised to stay updated with local weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.
Minimum Temperature Increase
Due to the enhanced cloud cover and increased moisture levels, the minimum temperatures in South India are expected to rise slightly:
- Coastal areas: The minimum temperatures are forecasted to hover between 22-24°C, providing some respite from the usual chill experienced during this time of year.
- Inland areas: The minimum temperatures are expected to range between 17-19°C, which is higher than the seasonal average.
This increase in nighttime temperatures will be noticeable and may bring a sense of warmth during early morning hours.
Implications for Residents
- Farmers: The rainfall could provide much-needed irrigation for winter crops. However, excessive rain in certain areas might damage crops; farmers are advised to monitor weather updates closely.
- Commuters: Waterlogging in urban areas, particularly in Chennai and Kochi, could lead to traffic disruptions. Plan your travel accordingly.
- Tourists: Travelers visiting Kerala and Tamil Nadu should anticipate wet weather conditions and pack rain gear.
Concluding Note
As the circulation system influences South India's weather over the next few days, it is essential to stay prepared for the rainy spell. While the rains will bring relief to water resources and agriculture, localized disruptions are expected. Keep track of advisories issued by meteorological departments and stay safe during this period.
Meteora Weather Service will continue to provide updates on this weather system to keep you informed.
