The southern peninsula continues to face the relentless heat of the Sun as we move one step closer towards the sizzling month of May. High temperatures will continue to prevail across the peninsula with relief arriving to the extreme coastal areas in the form of sea breeze.
However, it is not all sombre as the heat is likely to pave way for severe thunderstorms in the interiors of the peninsula by afternoon. This should produce isolated rains in interior Tamil Nadu, parts of interior Karnataka and the adjoining portions of Kerala. Severe thunderstorms, with possible squalls and hails could occur in the eastern parts of the country with the state of West Bengal under focus. Parts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh could also experience isolated thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall is likely in the north-eastern states present proximal to Bangladesh.
