MUMBAI – The Northeast Monsoon commenced over southeast India on Tuesday with a well-marked low pressure area over the central part of the south Bay of Bengal, the India Meterological Department said in a release.

 

The IMD in its forecast for Oct-Dec said above normal rainfall is likely over many parts of central and south India and some parts of northeast India during Oct-Dec. However, most parts of northwest India and some parts of northeast India and southernmost parts of the country are likely to receive normal to below-normal rainfall during Oct-Dec, the Met department said earlier this month.        

 

In view of the above weather system, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal are likely to receive extremely heavy to very heavy rainfall till Thursday. The weather bureau has issued a red alert over the above places Tuesday, and over parts of Rayalaseema, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Yanam on Wednesday. A red alert indicates rainfall of over 204.4 mm in 24 hours.

 

Very heavy rainfall is also likely over parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Kerala, Mahe, and the south interior Karnataka till Thursday. Similar weather conditions are seen over parts of Rayalaseema, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Yanam till Wednesday and over coastal Karnataka on Wednesday, the weather agency said.

 

Squally weather with wind speeds reaching 40 kilometres per hour to 50 kilometres per hour gusting to 60 kilometres per hour is likely to prevail over parts of the southeast and southwest Bay of Bengal. The weather bureau has advised fishermen not to venture into the sea in these areas during the period.

 

Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon has withdrawn from the entire country Tuesday, the weather bureau said. The Southwest Monsoon started to withdraw from parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat on Sept. 23, against the normal date of Sept. 17. However, private agency Skymet said the Southwest Monsoon is likely to withdraw from the entire India by Oct. 18, and the northeast monsoon is likely to start during the same time.  End
