IMD Forecasts Northeast Monsoon Onset Over Southern Peninsula in 2-3 Days
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts the onset of the northeast monsoon over the southern peninsula within the next two to three days, bringing a prolonged wet spell for five to six days. Isolated heavy rainfall is expected in Kerala, Mahe, coastal and south interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, coastal Andhra Pradesh, north interior Karnataka, and Rayalaseema between October 15 and 18. The southwest monsoon is withdrawing, and El Nino conditions have contributed to a rainfall deficit during the southwest monsoon season.
