Important information is on Thursday Nilgiris district-based Devala and Avalanche recorded 36 cm and 35 cm rainfall. Coimbatore district-based Chinnakalar and Cinchona recorded 31 cm and 29 cm spots of rain respectively. There could be strong wind convergence near the east coast this weekend and this could trigger rains in Chennai city.
It is now said that this wind convergence could be prior to the formation of low pressure that has been forecast over the Bay of Bengal. Point is this low-pressure system is expected to lessen the strength of the westerlies in this part of the region. Around 9th August, a low-pressure area is likely to develop over the north and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal.
