Weather Update [ Tamil Nadu Weatherman ]

Posted on: 16/Jul/2019 11:38:57 AM
16.07.2019 Weather Interpretation including KTC and the weekend rains in Kerala /Ghats in west coast
============
We always say weather is a pattern and the winds pattern of NW is set to continue over North Tamil Nadu. Yesterday was just a start, i always that NW winds is most favorable for formation of thunderstorms with sea breeze moving in from SE and creating that perfect clash. For KTC, one day of another the clouds is going to move over Chennai. If not today it can be tomorrow. You can see the wind pattern is almost same as yesterday (photo enclosed). But expecting yesterday like Thunderstorms will be over ambitious. Surely with similar pattern prevailing Clouds will form in the West in Vellore / Nagari hills in Chittor and will start moving towards KTC, we need luck for storms not over intensify in vellore belt itself then it will lose steam nearing Chennai like what happened on Saturday and Sunday.

Overall, another active night can be expected for Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Villupuram and KTC. Where the cloud moves can be tracked in radar once the clouds formed. As of now conditions are good and ripe with another hot day.

Lake levels - What ever rains maybe very rarely these rains improve water levels. Yesterday was perfect example. Do keep RWH systems ready again, if not today rains will come tomorrow. Till weekend same wind pattern is prevailing.

MJO is coming back so are the Heavy rains in Kerala, Cauvery Catchment, Ghats in Tamil Nadu from Thursday to Monday
--------------------
Very heavy rains expected from Thursday / Friday till Monday in West Coast, Kerala and ghats including Valparai, Nilgiris, Periyar Catchment in Theni, Nellai Ghats, Kanyakumari. Hopefully, looks like the best spell of the monsoon. Hope you remember this post last week - https://www.facebook.com/tamilnaduweatherman/posts/2571621499731785
