The trough in the lower level easterlies from Comorin area to South Interior Karnataka continues to persist. Due to this system, light to moderate rains are possible off north Kerala and south Karnataka coast. In North India, the Western Disturbance (WD) and the associated Upper Air Circulation (UAC) in the south is expected to trigger more rains and hailstorm in northern / north central states as the induced UAC interacts with the easterlies.
