BENGALURU: The southwest monsoon is showing all signs of advancing through 3 to 4 days this yr; it's going to strike southern Kerala and southern Tamil Nadu through May 29, says the weatherman. This way monsoon would possibly input Karnataka one or two days sooner than its scheduled arrival on June 5.
CS Patil, forecaster in-charge at India Meteorological Department, Bengaluru, said monsoon could settle in southern Kerala and Tamil Nadu over the following 4 days.
“It can be plus or minus in the future. The wind patterns also are suggestive of this phenomenon. The southwest monsoon has advanced into parts of south Andaman sea, south Bay of Bengal and Nicobar Islands. The prevalent conditions are likely to become extra beneficial for a sophisticated monsoon,” he said.
South Bengaluru worst hit
While Bengaluru has been at the receiving finish of heavy pre-monsoon showers for over a month now, the unexpected downpour on Friday afternoon was a results of a trough of low power extending from north-interior Karnataka to south Tamil Nadu, throughout south interior Karnataka.
South Bengaluru was essentially the most affected with Somannahalli (16mm), Hemmigepura (12.5mm), Sondekoppa (14mm), Konanakunte (10mm) and H Golahalli (12.5mm) receiving heavy rainfall. Nagarbhavi recorded 9mm rain, whilst RR Nagar gained 6.5mm, Sarakki 6mm and Koramangala 4mm.
Met division officials said they recorded around 30mm of rainfall till eight.30pm. While waterlogging and slowmoving traffic was reported in many spaces,bushes had been uprooted in Shankar Mutt house, Margosa Road in Malleswaram, Neelasandra, Kalyan Nagar, Banashankari II Stage, Wilson Garden, Sajjan Rao Circle in VV Puram, Yelahanka New Town and JP Nagar.
No Sagar impact
In the wake of messages circulating on social media about Karnataka being within the line of fireside of cyclone Sagar, IMD officials clarified that there was no explanation why to worry. “It is heading towards Oman and nearby spaces on Friday night and therefore not going to have an effect on Bengaluru or coastal Karnataka,” said CS Patil.
