After a long time KTC (Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Chennai) belt are going to see lot of action today. While Vellore, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Tiruvannamalai and Salem will see intense Thunderstorms associated with hails, Thunder and Lightening. Meanwhile Kanyakumari / Nellai will see monsoon rains.
Its been nearly 6 months since last rains happened in many places in the KTC region and with westerlies setting in slowly the convergence shifts closer to the coast. The weak monsoon is helping in formation of thunderstorms while the heat aided by moisture and the long gap are signs that action in the KTC belt will start in a thunderous mode.
