Posted on: 01/Aug/2020 10:23:12 AM
In this week earlier, Chennai received intense rains. The weathermen have predicted that over the weekend the atmospheric disturbance over the southern peninsula could play an important role in the rains with lightning in the Chennai city.
Important information is this atmospheric disturbance would be seen as a precursor to the formation of a weather system and this could activate monsoon rains in other parts of India. It is now brought out that in the next week there could be a break in the intense rains.
According to Indian Meteorological Department or IMD, for the next 48 hours, the sky condition is likely to be cloudy and there would be moderate rains with lightning in some areas. Chennai is likely to have a maximum temperature of around 36 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.
Upper air circulation would be responsible for triggering moderate rains with thunder and lightning in the districts like Vellore, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, and Thiruvannamalai, etc. This was pointed out by Mr. N, Puviarasan director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre Chennai.
Catchment areas of Chennai city like Red Hills, Cholavaram would receive more rains. The westerlies would not be strong enough to push the storms closer to the coast to bring rains over the core city places. In regions such as Karnataka, Mumbai, and Cauvery catchment area, etc there might be winds and monsoons around 3rd August and 4th August. Fast-moving clouds would bring rains in Chennai and there would be good breeze also. This was as per Mr. N. Pradeep, Chennai weather blogger.
