SWM 2021 likely to continue to be vigorous over Indian plains

The next fortnight is likely to be wet for most parts of India owing to the active phase of the SWM 2021. As a result, Rainfall deficits in many states are likely to reduce in the next 2 weeks. The upcoming SWM surge from 20th is likely to be strong and maybe a game changer for many districts lagging behind in rainfall. The next break of the monsoon is speculated around first week of August. Even though until then, TN will continue to see isolated heavy showers. The quantum may not be as high during the period of break monsoon.

Chennai city may witness pleasant temperatures hovering around 33-35°c with a good possibility of Monsoon showers in the region. Overall TN is likely to witness below normal temperatures for the next few days. It is likely to be windy with surface winds touching as high as 30 to 35 kmph. Chances of light showers and enjoyable cool weather looks likely for most parts of the state. Overall future prospects look good for North Tamilnadu and South Andhrapradesh to see an above normal to excess SWM 2021 making it back to back good monsoons.
