Rain for Kerala, parts of Karnataka
The IMD national centre in New Delhi said a cylonic circulation persists over the South-East Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast as does a trough from there to the Konkan coast across Coastal Karnataka, having moved in from Tuesday’s Gulf of Mannar-North Tamil Nadu coast alignment.
The trough will continue to facilitate confluence of winds and set up a wet spell over Kerala and adjoining Kerala for the next few days. Easterly winds from the Bay and north-westerlies from the Arabian Sea will interact to oversee this spell.
The IMD has forecast isolated/scattered light to moderate rain/thundershowers over Kerala and Mahe during the next five days, and over Coastal and South Interior Karnataka during the next three days.
Hailstorms for Maharashtra
Isolated light/moderate rain with thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds may persist over Maharashtra, Gujarat, East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh until tomorrow (Thursday). Isolated hailstorms may break out over North Madhya Maharashtra and adjoining Marathawada today (Wednesday).
The US National Centres for Environmental Prediction persists with the outlook for intermittent showers for Kerala, Coastal Karnataka, and parts of Tamil Nadu into the third week of March with possibility of major activity building over the South-East Bay of Bengal towards the end of this period.
