The much awaited South West Monsoon has further advanced over parts of South Arabian Sea, Maldives, Comorin area and some more parts of Southwest Bay of Bengal. The cross equatorial flow and deepening of westerlies over South Arabian Sea and the presence of a feeble off shore trough along Karnataka/ Kerala coast should set the tune of monsoon onset over Kerala in few days’ time.
Meanwhile, evening thunderstorms would continue over North west TN and North Coastal TN. Thunderstorms likely over isolated places of Uttarakhand, West UP, Bihar and north eastern regions line Assam & Meghalaya.
