MUMBAI – The northeast monsoon completed its withdrawal from India Monday, over 10 days beyond its schedule, the India Meteorological Department said. The weather bureau also said there are two western disturbances which are likely to affect the western Himalayan region from Wednesday and Saturday.
The northeast monsoon rains ended over Kerala, Mahe, south interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Rayalaseema, and adjoining areas of coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam on Monday.
The northeast monsoon usually withdraws from the country on Dec. 31, with a standard deviation of 14–15 days, said B. Geetha, a scientist at IMD Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai. The normal date for withdrawal of the northeast monsoon is Jan. 15, but this year it has been delayed, Geetha said. The northeast monsoon rainfall has stopped over the Indian region, but it still persists over Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and other southeast Asian countries, she said.
Meanwhile, the weather bureau said two western disturbances in quick succession are likely to affect the western Himalayan region. One western disturbance is likely to affect from Wednesday and the other from Saturday. These weather systems are likely to cause rainfall or snowfall over the region during Wednesday and Sunday.
The Met department also projected heavy rainfall over parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal Thu-Sat due to an easterly wave. This is also likely to cause isolated rainfall over Kerala and Mahe on Friday. End
