The current heat wave-like climate, being undergone by the State for the past few weeks, is anticipated to dip during this weekend.
A low pressure depression is been budding over the chief Bay of Bengal and central Bay of Bengal, which latterly affixing the coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Because of which, the parts of the coastal Andhra Pradesh and the north coastal Tamil Nadu may encounter showers of thunder close to 29 June, says R. Suresh, the director of the Aerodrome Meteorological Office.
The beefy dry westerly and the deferred onset of sea breeze along the coastal areas ground the prime reasons for the present heat wave-like climate, he added.
Since the southwest monsoon has not sourced ideal rainfall over Kerala, the westerly, passing through a stretched distance to touch Tamil Nadu, gets fortified and brings in heat from core parts of the State to the coastal parts.
The deferred onset of sea breeze does not aid the coastal regions like Chennai even at night time, the temperature is close to 29 degree Celsius, he revealed.
Till now, the State has enlisted 30.7 mm rainfall, in opposition to the anticipated 40.9 mm, with a deficit of about 25 %.
Fortunately, this dry westerly indirectly helps in generation of extensive quantum of energy from wind mills. On an average, the wind mill generates about 72.5 million units on the daily basis.
