The US Climate Prediction Centre has continued to suggest that the North-East monsoon will spin up a ‘reasonably strong’ weather system a week after it sets in over South India.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has already announced that the South-West monsoon will sign out entirely from the landmass tomorrow to make way for the North-East monsoon the day after (Thursday).
In its update on Tuesday, it said that a constellation of circulations have occupied vanguard positions over the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the neighbourhood, ahead of the arrival of seasonal rains.
The CPC has signalled that the weather system forming in the South-East Bay would initially track along a path looking at the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts.
But it could split up closer to the coast, with a remnant likely hurtling down towards Tamil Nadu.
After impacting the coast, a ‘rain pulse’ from it will move across the Peninsula towards Coastal Karnataka, it said.
Meanwhile, the IMD outlook until this weekend said heavy rain would lash parts of Coastal and South Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Kerala.
