Monsoon At Full Roar in Kerala Soon
June 14 2013
Thiruvananthapuram
Kerala will be under heavy monsoon rain during coming days as forcasted by weather reports. Heavy-to-very heavy rainfall in some places is the forecast for the State for the next couple of days, with no significant change during the subsequent two days.
The southwest monsoon is set to climb to a vigorous phase over Kerala during the next three to four days under the combined influence of a low pressure system that has taken shape over the northwest Bay of Bengal and an ideal offshore trough along the west coast.
The Irrigation Department has already started work on cutting open the sandbar separating the sea and the backwaters at Thottappally in Alappuzha district to check flooding in Kuttanad.
The models on Wednesday showed the low pressure system that had taken shape over the northwest Bay of Bengal taking a track westward across the subcontinent to merge, over the next four days, with the head end of the offshore trough now lying from the Gujarat coast to the Kerala coast.
