Chennai once again has chance to get rains today. Meanwhile, KRS Dam and Hemavathy are going to overflow in the next two days in addition to Kabini and Harangi which are already full
================================
Conditions are ripe for another rainy day in Chennai. Just look out the sky how the puffy cumulus are growing and with sea breeze coming in and making convergence again, it is going to be another rainy day in Chennai. 5th straight day if it rains.

Massive inflows of 1.27 lakh cusecs into Karantaka cauvery dams
---------------------------------
Bhagamandala another 150 mm rainfall today in Kodagu (Coorg) and KRS is getting inflow 39700 cusecs while Kabini is getting 45500 cusecs, Hemavathy 26500 cusecs and Harangi 15300 cusecs. The total inflow into the 4 Karantaka dam are massive 1.27 lakh cusecs. From Kabini alone 47300 cusecs is let down to Mettur and when KRS fills up there is going to awesome inflow into Mettur after the year 2013. As of morning, Mettur was getting close to 39000 cusecs inflow.

Bright chances of Mettur to get filled by end of July
-----------------------------------------
With so much rains forecasted in the next 10 days, I have a feel "Mettur is going to touch 120 ft by end of July"

Not only mettur all dams in Valparai, Nilgiris are going to become full. Bhavanisagar ? when was the last time it got filled up ?

So much more rains are expected in the Cauvery Catchment, Valparai, Nilgiris and Periyar dam catchment in the next 10 days. Good chance for Parambikulam to get filled up too.
