The southwest monsoon is set to make its exit in style, bringing rains to the parched parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, as weather forecasters have picked up signs of formation of a cyclonic circulation over Bay of Bengal. Addressing a press conference here, India Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra on Thursday junked last week’s forecast of early withdrawal of southwest monsoon and announced the extended stay of the seasonal showers.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Thursday predicted heavy rainfall in parts of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Mahe and South Interior Karnataka in the next five hours. Rainfall is likely in parts of Kerala including in the regions of Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alapuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Palakkad, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, Kasaragod. As heavy rain is predicted, people have been asked to relocate to safer areas and follow the instructions of authorities. With the sea current expected to be strong, those living along the coasts are to be on alert and relocate if asked to. Fisherfolks have been asked to secure their tools, IMD said.
