The Monsoon Lurks Around The Corner As Large Tracts Of Southern India Face Thundershowers

Pre-monsoon thundershowers are likely to continue over the peninsula as rains are likely in several parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Some thundershowers could also occur in Odisha and the southern parts of Chhatisgarh and Maharashtra. Under the influence of a nearby upper air circulation, heavy rainfall amounts are possible in eastern Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Heavy rainfall amounts could be registered in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala as well.

While the southern parts of Tamil Nadu are likely to face a hot day, the northern parts are likely to face a relatively cool day, albeit warm and humid. Severe heat and temperatures are likely in the northwestern parts of the country, with some spotty showers in the Himalayan regions.
