Updated on October 28, 2015 12:15 PM (IST): Northeast Monsoon makes onset over Peninsular India
With intensity of rain increasing over coastal parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the wait for much awaited Northeast Monsoon has finally ended. According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, Northeast Monsoon made onset over Tamil Nadu and other parts of Peninsular India on Wednesday.
The Northeast Monsoon mainly affects five regions of South India, namely Tamil Nadu, Kerala, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and South Interior Karnataka.
As per Skymet, it is not mandatory for all these regions to receive simultaneous rainfall for the commencement of Northeast Monsoon. But, it is essential for Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh to observe good rain to mark its arrival.
Light to moderate rain has already been recorded over these two states during last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Tuesday, with isolated places recording heavy showers.
Onset of Monsoon is always associated with a weather system or easterly winds. This year, a low pressure area over southwest Bay of Bengal off the Sri Lanka coast is responsible for ushering in the Monsoon over the region.
Northeast Monsoon is slightly delayed due to the presence of a well-marked low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea. This being the stronger than the other, took away the maximum amount of moisture and let the low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal gain more strength.
However, the system in the Arabian Sea has now moved westwards away from the Indian coast. As a result, low pressure area has now become more marked leading to increase in rainfall activity over coastal parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
Northeast Monsoon generally sets in by October 20, with a deviation of one week before or after. This Monsoon holds great relevance for Tamil Nadu, as the state receives its maximum amount of rainfall during this season.
