IMD Issues Weather Forecasts for Sabarimala Pilgrimage Amidst Limitations
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has commenced issuing special weather forecasts for the Sabarimala temple pilgrimage. While the IMD has deployed manual rain gauges and temperature recording tools, providing precise nowcasts for the immediate vicinity remains challenging due to the absence of a dedicated automatic weather station. Data from nearby stations and the Kochi radar are being utilized, though sources suggest a radar closer to Sabarimala would enhance forecast accuracy.
