Southwest Monsoon bids adieu to Kerala on a rainy note
In the entirety of Southwest Monsoon this year, the rainfall has remained a mysterious ghostly figure from the state of Kerala. Even with being almost completely absent from the state, some good showers were observed in the state.
But as the Southwest Monsoon bids adieu to the country, the rain has begun to lash its last few heavy downpours in the region. In the last 24 hours, widespread rains were recorded in many district of rhea state. Districts like Alappuzha, Idukki and Kottayam recorded moderate showers in many areas with heavy downpour in few areas.
Alappuzha recorded 27.6 mm of rainfall, Kayamkulam recorded 20.4 mm of rainfall and Mancompu 60.0 recorded. Whereas Kumarakom I Kottayam recorded 20.0 mm of rains, and Munnar in Idduki recorded 37.2 mm of rains.
The fact remains that there aren’t any major weather system in the region that would invoke such heavy fall. All these rains are due to the localized weather activity caused due to the proximity of sea.
For the next couple of days, the weather seems to be fine for the state but the as far as the Southwest Monsoon season is concerned, the rainfall of the season has ended.
The state remains the most rain deficient region in the entire country with 34% rainfall deficiency.

Milder showers continue over Kerala
Rains have almost vanished from Kerala from a long time now. The state has not witnessed any decent rains from quite some time.
In the last 24 hours as well, light to very light rains have been observed over parts of the state, particularly over the northern region of the state.

Now also, due to absence of any noteworthy weather system, only scattered light showers of shorter duration are expected over few regions of the state particularly, the northern region of the state may witness some good rains like yesterday.
The southern region may remain somewhat dry with very less wet spells making their appearance. Thereafter 24 to 48 hours hence, occasional light rains are likely to occur over parts of Kerala. Evenings are expected to remain windy whereas, the afternoons may remain humid.
Kerala witnessed some light showers
Kerala is the least performing region in the country when it comes to rainfall. At present, Kerala is 33% rain deficient which makes it one of the most rain deficient region in entire South Peninsula. Generally, the state should have received 2005.8 mm but it has just witnessed 1343.5 mm till date.
During the Southwest Monsoon, Kerala has largely observed subdued weather activity with one or two short spells of good showers now and then. Likewise, during last 24 hours, Kerala did witness some mild showers.
Kudlu in Kasaragode district recorded 10 mm of rainfall. In Kannur district, Irikkur received 13 mm and Mattanur 8 mm. Vadakara in Kozhikode district received 10 mm while Piravom in Ernakulam district recorded 13.1 mm of rainfall. Alappuzha received 15 mm of rainfall and in the same district; Mavelikkara recorded 7.4 mm of Monsoon showers.
As per Skymet Weather, there are possibilities of few light showers over the state in another 24 hours; however the intensity of these rains will be relatively low. Hence, Kerala will certainly not be able to improve much of its rainfall figures this season.
Saga of subdued rains continue in Kerala
Kerala is the worst performing region in the country so far this Monsoon season. This subdivision has received 33% less rains than normal as of September 25. Normally, the state should have received 1984.6 mm but it has observed just 1337.4 mm till now.
Throughout the season Kerala has mostly seen subdued rains with one or two short spells of good showers now and then. Monsoon remained subdued over the state even during last 24 hours.

Monsoon rains go subdued over Kerala again
After the advent of Monsoon in the country, Kerala has not witnessed the typical Monsoon rains. There have some good spells but the incessant rains were missing. These good showers were witnessed by the state was a long time ago.
In fact, during last 24 hours as well, Kerala has witnessed only some mild showers.
In the span of 24 hours from 08:30 am as on Saturday, Alappuzha witnessed light wet spells of 4.0 mm, Mattanur recorded 1.2 mm rainfall, Irikkur got the maximum rainfall of 18 mm. Mananthavady recorded 10.6 mm rains, Kannur 6.8 mm and Kozhikode recorded a mere of 1.8 mm of rainfall while most regions of Kerala witnessed scattered rainfall activity.
The rainfall over the state has once again gone dry. This is due to the absence of any significant weather system over Kerala. And for the next 24 hours the rains are expected to further remain subdued.
However, localized development of thunderclouds may give scattered light showers over coastal region of the state.

Kerala to finally witness increase in rain intensity
Monsoon has been subdued over Kerala for last few days and past 24 hours has been no different. Mainly light rains were observed over most parts of the state. However, few places of North Kerala have recorded moderate showers.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Idukki recorded 13.2 mm of rain, Thrissur 7.7 mm, Thiruvananthapuram 7 mm, Ernakulam 4.7 mm, and Kottayam 1 mm.
Meanwhile in North Kerala, Mattanur in Kannur district recorded 22 mm of rain, Vadakara in Kozhikode saw 35 mm, Wayanad 18.4 mm, and Malappuram 16 mm.
Further in the next 24 hours, we can expect marginal increase in the intensity of rains. Though heavy rains can be ruled out but light to moderate rains will be witnessed over the coastal state.
This increase in rains will be attributed to fresh Monsoon surge which is likely to be active over Kerala. According to Skymet Weather, Monsoon is already vigorous over Konkan and Goa and Coastal Karnataka. This surge is likely to extend further up to Kerala, bringing rains over the state.
Kerala still waiting for some good rains
Kerala has been witnessing mainly dry weather from a last many days now. It has been long time since the state has witnessed some really good spell of rains.
In fact, during last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday as well, Kerala has not witnessed any decent rains. The only light wet spells that have occurred were over Kottayam which observed mere spells of 2.2 mm.
The reason for the rains remaining absent from the state from a long time now is considered to be non appearance of any significant weather system over the region. At present, Kerala is 32% rain deficient state which one of the most rain deficient region in entire southern peninsula.
However, there are possibilities of some light showers to occur over Kerala in another 24 hours but the intensity of these rains will be comparatively low.
Due to lack of much rains over the region, temperatures are also expected to scale up for another 24 hours.
Saga of subdued rains over Kerala continues
Some on and off light rains have been occurring over the state of Kerala from past few days now. In fact, heavy showers are not being seen by the state since a long time.
In fact, during last 24 hours as well, Kerala has witnessed some mild showers.

While most of the other regions of the state witnessed mainly dry weather conditions. Also, due to absence of any significant weather system over Kerala, rains are expected to further remain subdued.
However, localized development of thunderclouds may give scattered light showers over coastal region of the state. Isolated moderate showers at a few places are also foreseen. Moreover, westerly winds flowing from the Arabian Sea is also likely to bring in moisture further leading to some rains.
Temperatures are also likely to scale up a bit and humid weather condition is expected to prevail for another 24 hours.
Dry weather with light scattered showers foreseen for Kerala
After witnessing a prolonged dry spell, Kerala has finally managed to witness some decent wet spells. Though good showers are still a talk of the past now for the state but a few districts have received a few rainy spells.
In last 24 hours as well, isolated light showers have occurred over parts of Kerala particularly the southern region of the state. On the contrary, North Kerala had witnessed extremely light rains.
During last 24 hours, from 08:30 am as on Tuesday, most of the northern region of the state including Irikkur and Ponnani witnessed 13 mm spells each, Hosdurg in Kasaragod district observed 7 mm wet spells, Kuppady 3.4 mm and Thalassery and Kudlu witnessed 5.2 mm rains each.

While most of the other regions remained mainly parched. As of now also, no significant weather system is foreseen over the state. Therefore, weather of Kerala does not seem to get better.
However, localized development of thunderclouds may give scattered light showers over coastal region of the state. Though the interior parts are expected to remain mainly dry. Temperatures are likely to scale up a bit and humid weather condition is expected to prevail for another 24 hours.
Kerala still witnessing diminishing rain trend
Rains have almost vanished from the Kerala region as the state has not managed to record much showers from quite few weeks now. In last 24 hours as well, not much rainfall have been observed by the state.
However, isolated light spells have occurred over Kerala but most of the regions remained dry. In last 24 hours, few districts of North Kerala have managed to receive light spells however, southern region of the state remained mainly dry.

During the similar time frame, Peermade in Idukki district witnessed 6 mm rains, while Idukki witnessed 0.8 mm of light wet spells. Most of the other regions remained parched.
The reason for the diminished rains over Kerala is the absence of any weather system. Furthermore, there does not seem any improvement in the weather conditions and light isolated rains are likely to continue over the region for another 24 hours.
At present, Kerala is 32% rainfall deficient and it is expected that by month end, due to so lesser rains, this rainfall deficiency would probably enhance.
Kerala continues with Subdued Monsoon rains
In absence of any significant weather system, Kerala continued to witness subdued Monsoon rains during the last 24 hours. However, North Kerala, particularly adjoining parts of Coastal Karnataka, has managed to record light rain with one or two moderate spells.

According to Skymet Weather, we do not expect any major change in the weather conditions over Kerala in the coming days as well. Monsoon will remain mainly dry over most parts of South Kerala, while North Kerala will receive isolated light showers only.
In wake of weak Monsoon conditions, the cumulative rainfall for Kerala stands high at 32%. In fact, the state, which is famous for witnessing torrential rainfall during the Monsoon season, is now the rainfall deficient region across Peninsular India.
Subdued rains likely over Kerala
Southwest Monsoon remained vigorous over the Maharashtra coast including Mumbai. Whereas Coastal Karnataka has been left far behind. The Kerala region has witnessed mainy light Monsoon rains during the last 24 hours.
In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Saturday, Irikkur received 11 mm of rain followed by 10 mm rain in Vellanikkara, Vadakara 8 mm, and Piravom 6.5 mm. Chittur and Pattambi in Palakkad has also received rain spell of 6 mm and 6.2 mm respectively.
According to Skymet Weather, only scattered light rains will continue over North Kerala. Other districts will remain dry with possibilities of isolated light rains. These rains will not be able to help Kerala in increasing its deficient rain figures.
At present, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for Kerala continues to stand at 32%. This makes the coastal state as the most rain deficient region of Peninsular India.

Monsoon rains to pick up pace over Kerala
Monsoon remains have remained far and few over Kerala for the last many days. In wake of this, mainly dry weather has prevailed over the region, with only one or two places recording very light rainfall.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Alappuzha and Idukki are the only two places to record light rainfall to the tune of3.8 mm and 1 mm, respectively.
However, we can see change in the weather conditions that are now favourable for light rains over several parts of the state.
According to Skymet Weather, a fresh cyclonic circulation has developed in Bay of Bengal, which is now marked over North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and west-central Bay of Bengal. Moreover, a trough is also extending from this system up to North Tamil Nadu.
Both the systems will now infuse a fresh Monsoon surge, which would increase the rain activity both in terms of intensity and spread.
Kerala has been the most rain deficient pocket of Peninsular India. As on September 9, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for the state stands as high as 31%.
Subdued Monsoon rains to continue over Kerala
Since the last few days, the weather of Kerala was almost dry with isolated light rain activity over North Kerala. But during last 24 hours, many districts of Kerala have received light rainfall. Though intensity has not increased drastically but light rain has occurred in most areas.
The good news is that the rain is expected to remain subdued for next 2 days and thereafter we expect rain intensity to increase marginally. Many areas may even receive few moderate spells though substantial increase in rain intensity shall not be expected.
In the last 24 hours, place in Kannur districts like Irikkur received 7 mm and Taliparamba received 5.2 mm, Mananthavady in Wayanad district received 3 mm of rains.
At present the state of Kerala is not only the most rain deficient state in peninsular India. Across all the regions of India, Kerala is tied with Assam and Meghalaya to be the most rain deficient state with 31% less rain than normal.
According to Skymet Weather, there has been no fresh Monsoon surge to affect the coast. This can be attributed to the absence of any significant weather system over around Kerala.

Subdued Monsoon makes Kerala the most rain deficient pocket of Peninsular India
Rains continue to play hide and seek with Kerala as Monsoon remains subdued over the region. Mainly dry weather conditions were witnessed over most parts of the state, barring few places that have recorded light rains.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Kuppady recorded 6 mm of rain, Vyttiri 6.2 mm, Ambalavayal 3.2 mm and Nilambur 1.4 mm.
In wake of this, the seasonal rainfall deficiency for Kerala has mounted to 30%, making it the most rainfall deficient pocket across Peninsular India.
According to Skymet Weather, there has been no fresh Monsoon surge to affect the coast. This can be attributed to the absence of any significant weather system over around Kerala.
Moreover, no major changes are expected in the weather conditions in the coming days, predicts weathermen. As per meteorologist, weather models are indicating that no fresh Monsoon system is likely to impact the region.
Besides this, the off-shore trough running along the West Coast has also become insignificant.
Kerala is one of the worst performing regions this Monsoon
Southwest Monsoon has been subdued over Kerala for the longest time now. Normally Kerala receives good rains but this year the conditions were not favorable for Monsoon rains over the region.
Kerala is the worst performing region, in terms of Monsoon showers, in Peninsular India. The state has received 30% less rains than the normal figures. Normally, Kerala should have received 1841.7 mm but the state has received just 1283.6 mm of rainfall so far this season.
In the entire country only the subdivision of Assam and Meghalaya received lesser rains than Kerala.
During last 24 hours, only scattered rains were observed over Kerala with Kannur receiving 14 mm of rainfall. Mananthavady in Wayanad received 11.4 mm of rainfall while Kodungallur in Thrissur received 11 mm of rainfall. Idukki also recorded just 6 mm of rainfall.
The situation in Kerala could be attributed to absence of significant weather systems in the proximity. This year we have not seen good enough Monsoon systems developing in the central and southeast Arabian Sea. Moreover, the off-shore trough has also been feeble most of the time.
Monsoon remains subdued, no relief in offing for Kerala
The Southwest Monsoon continues to be subdued over Kerala, as mainly dry weather conditions prevailed over the region. In span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on September 6, Ernakulam recorded 5 mm of rain, Malappuram 4.6 mm, Hosdurg 4.1 mm, Thrissur 2.6 mm, Kannur 2.2 mm, and Palakkad 1.6 mm.
According to Skymet Weather, Monsoon rains have been far and few over most parts of Kerala in absence of any significant weather systems.
Further, we do not foresee any change in the weather conditions as no system is likely to approach the coastal state. However, development of local phenomenon can lead to isolated light rains over few parts of the state.
At present, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for Kerala continues to stand at 30%. With this, it is the most rainfall deficient state of the entire Peninsular India.
Subdued Rains will continue over Kerala
Kerala has witnessed some good Monsoon rains in recent times. These rains can be attributed to the off-shore trough which was running from South Maharashtra coast to Kerala coast.
As of now, we expect the rain intensity to once again decrease over the state. Subdued rain activity will continue over the state, with few places observing light spells.
At present, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for Kerala stands at 30%. This makes the state as the most rain deficient region of Peninsular India.
Dry weather was prevalent over the state during last 24 hours, and it is expected to continue over the state for the next 24 to 48 hours as well.
Idukki district witnessed 0.6 mm of rainfall while Munnar in Idukki district received 4 mm and Thodupuzha also observed very light rains of around 1 mm.
Palakkad witnessed just 0.5 mm of rainfall. Kudlu in Kozhikode 0.4 mm of rainfall during last 24 hours.
The off-shore trough has become insignificant now and there is no other weather system expected to develop in the near future. Thus, Skymet Weather predicts that rainfall will reduce along the West Coast including Kerala.
Saga of subdued rains continue in Kerala
Southwest Monsoon continues to be subdued over Kerala. Even over the weekend, Kerala received only light rains.
The feeble off-shore trough at mean sea level is now running from south Maharashtra coast to Kerala coast.
Thus, Kerala has received mainly light rains during last 24 hours. Isolated places received moderate rains as well.
Alappuzha witnessed just 8 mm of rainfall and Kozhikode 5.6 mm. Irikkur in Kannur district received 5 mm of rainfall. Perumbavur in Ernakulam received good rains to the tune of 46 mm.
Thodupuzha in Idukki also received light rains of around 8 mm. Kurudamannil in Pathanamthitta witnessed 21.2 mm of rainfall. Ottappalam in Palakkad received 14.6 mm of rainfall.
The off-shore will weaken by tomorrow. Thus, Skymet Weather predicts that rainfall will reduce along the West Coast including Kerala.
Monsoon rains to intensify over Kerala
Monsoon rains have been playing hide and seek with Kerala for quite sometime now. However, rain activity is all set to intensify over the region, particularly over the coastal parts.
According to Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation is marked over Lakshadweep and Maldives region. In wake of this, rains will increase marginally and we can expect light to moderate rains over many parts of the state.
At present, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for Kerala stands at 30%. This makes the coastal state as the most rain deficient region of Peninsular India.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Hosdurg recorded 14.2 mm of rain, Thiruvananthapuram 15.8 mm, Thrissur 12.8 mm, Kochi 11.2 mm, Angadippuram 11 mm, Kollam 11 mm, Idukki 8.4 mm, Vyttiri 8.2 mm, Palakkad 6.8 mm, and Kottayam 5.4 mm.
Rains to revive over Kerala
Rains have almost remained vague from last couple of days over Kerala. But, during last 24 hours, most of the regions have observed moderate to light spells.
In a span of 24 hours, from 08:30 am as on Thursday, few districts of North Kerala have managed to get decent showers. Kudlu in Kasaragod district witnessed 6.2 mm showers, Vadakara in Kozhikode witnessed 7.3 mm, Perintalmanna in Malappuram 7 mm and Kannur observed 0.5 mm spells.
During the similar time frame, regions of South Kerala that witness some good spells include Ernakulam that received 15 mm rains, Piravom in Ernakulam district observed 20.4 mm, Alappuzha 5 mm, Munnar 8.4 mm and Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district witnessed 6.2 mm rains.
Hence, it can be said that the Southern region of Kerala witnessed better showers as compared to the northern part of the state.
Reason for these spells can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation that persists over Maldives and adjoining Lakshadweep Island. Moreover, rains are further likely to intensify over the coastal belt of the state.
However, moderate showers along with a few heavy rains are expected over interior parts of Kerala as well for another 24-48 hours.
Monsoon rains to continue over Kerala
The state of Kerala has been witnessing light rains for the past 24 hours.
This rain activity over Kerala can be attributed to the active off-shore trough along the West Coast of India. This weather system is running from Maharashtra coast to Kerala. Earlier, this Monsoon trough was only confined to North Kerala.
In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Cherthala in Alappuzha has received 13 mm of rainfall, followed by Taliparamba in Kannur where 12 mm of rainfall was received. Other areas to have received good rains include Piravom in Ernakulam recorded 10.5 mm, Vyttiri in Wayanad 10.5 mm and Ponnani in Malappuram 10.2 mm.
Due to the cyclonic circulation which is persisting over South Tamil Nadu, we expect light to moderate rains to continue over the state of Kerala for next 24 hours as well. In fact, the intensity of these Monsoon showers are likely to increase over some parts.
At present the entire state of Kerala is rainfall deficient by 29%. For the entire season of Monsoon, the cumulative rainfall over the state has been 1268.1 mm against the normal of 1795.4 mm of rainfall.
Monsoon rains to increase over parts of Kerala
The state of Kerala has been receiving good Monsoon rains for the past 48 hours. In fact, the region has recorded good showers during the past 24 hours as well. So much so that a few areas have recorded rains over 50 mm as well. These rains have come in as a boon for the state of Kerala.
During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Alappuzha has witnessed a whopping 57.4 mm of rainfall followed by Irikkur in Kannur where 25 mm of rainfall was received. Other areas to have received good rains include Kochi 6.2 mm, Kottayam 3.6 mm, Kozhikode 3.9 mm, and Punalur 5.6 mm.
During the next 24 hours, the state of Kerala will continue to witness light to moderate rains. In fact, the intensity of these Monsoon showers are likely to increase over some parts. These rains will be attributed to the presence of a cyclonic circulation over Tamil Nadu which will also increase rains over the state of Kerala.
Kerala finally receives some good Monsoon rains
After a long time, the state of Kerala is witnessing good Monsoon rains. These rains are no less than blessing for the state as the region had not witnessed good monsoon rains after the season had commenced.
This rain activity over Kerala can be attributed to the activation of off-shore trough along the West Coast of India. This weather system is running from Maharashtra coast to Kerala. Earlier, this Monsoon trough was only confined to North Kerala only.
These rainfall activities will be moderate in nature over the coastal areas with few heavy spells in between cannot be ruled out. But the interior parts of the state will receive light to moderate rains.
This rainfall activity is expected to last for another 2-3 days.
At present the entire state of Kerala is rainfall deficient by 30%. For the entire season of Monsoon, the cumulative rainfall over the state has been 1244.6 mm against the normal of 1770.0 mm of rainfall.
Although, this rain spell will only marginally help these figures to move towards the normalization.

Subdued Monsoon rains continues over Kerala
Kerala continues to witness subdued Monsoon rains as no major weather system is trying to form near the southern coastal state of India. During last 24 hours, North Kerala has received some good showers, but heavy incessant Monsoon rainfall is still missing over Kerala.
As soon as Monsoon hit the state i.e., initial June, there have been no heavy rains in Kerala. It was in the initial days of June only when Kerala witnessed rains.
At present the only nearby weather system is an off-shore trough that is extending up to Karnataka coast only. Due to this weather system few good showers can be expected over North Kerala coast but interior and southern parts of the state to remain subdued.
Kerala is at present experiencing 30% rainfall deficiency. Until now the normal rainfall for the Monsoon season of Kerala is 1760.6 mm but the state has received 1235.4 mm of rains.

Monsoon remains subdued over Kerala, no relief likely
The Southwest Monsoon continues to be subdued over Kerala, with most parts of the state recording mainly light rainfall only. However, few places have managed received moderate showers on account of local weather development.
According to Skymet Weather, in absence of significant weather, intensity of rains has been lying on the lower side only. Moreover, no major change is expected in the weather conditions over Kerala in coming days as well.
Mainly light rain with isolated moderate showers will continue, making the coastal state one of the most rain deficit region across Peninsular India. As on August 26, the cumulative rainfall deficiency for Kerala stands at 30%.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Hosdurg recorded 2.2 mm of rain, Kannur 5.4 mm, Vadakara 6.8 mm, Palakkad 11 mm, Kollam 5.2 mm, Thiruvananthapuram 1.3 mm, Alappuzha 5 mm, and Kochi 1 mm.
However, Kudlu was one of those pocked that managed to recorded some moderate showers with 37 mm. This was followed by Kozha 22.4 mm, Myladumpara 24.4 mm and Idukki 16.4 mm.
Good Monsoon Rains likely over parts of Kerala
Southwest Monsoon took a break in giving rains over Kerala. But, during last 24 hours, the state has received light to moderate with isolated heavy showers at most places.
During last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday, Piravom and Kochi in Ernakulam district observed 60mm and 24.5 mm of rainfall respectively. Likewise Irikkur in Kannur district witnessed 30 mm showers while Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district observed 24.2 mm of rains. Kanjirappally and Kozha in Kottayam district also recorded 25.4 mm and 20.4 mm of rains respectively
Comparatively, Idukki recorded 8 mm and Kollam recorded 6 mm of light rainy spells.
These rains can be attributed to the activated offshore trough which is extending from Coastal Maharashtra to Kerala coast. For the next few days, Skymet Weather predicts moderate rains over most parts of Kerala.
At present, the rainfall deficiency for Kerala has further increased and now stands at 30%.
Light rains in continuity over Kerala
Southwest Monsoon took a break in pouring rains over Kerala from quite some time now. However, during last 24 -48 hours, few good showers have lashed the state.
The southern region of the state witnessed some moderate showers. However, the Northern region observed very light wet spells.
Few stations in the southern districts of the state had even observed heavy showers. During last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, Alappuzha witnessed 32.1 mm showers while Kayamkulam in this district observed 29.2 mm rainy spells. Vaikom in Kottayam district observed 43 mm rainfall.
During the similar time frame, Punalur in Kollam district, Thodupuzha in Idukki district observed 40.2 and 20 mm rainfall respectively.
Comparatively, the interior parts of the state have witnessed light to very light rainy spells. In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, Kannur recorded 2.2, Kozhikode recorded 5 mm spells. Vythiri in the Wayanad district observed 14 mm of showers while Kollengode in the Palakkad district witnessed mere spells of 6 mm.
The reason for these moderate to light spells over the state can be associated with a feeble offshore trough which is running from South Maharashtra coast to Kerala Coast. This gives possibility of a few on and off light spells along with some isolated moderate showers to continue lashing the state for another 24 hours.
Light showers to keep blessing Kerala
Kerala has been witnessing very few wet spells from a couple of days. However, last 24 hours brought in some good showers over the northern region of the state. Though South Kerala still remained dry.
Few stations in most districts of the state had even observed heavy showers. During last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Tuesday, Kudlu in Kasaragod district witnessed 58.6 mm rainfall while Taliparamba in the Kannur district recorded a whopping 72.8 m of rains.
During the similar time frame, few heavy showers were even observed in Irikkur, Mattanur and Kudlu where rainfall observed were 57 mm, 61 mm and 52.2 mm of showers respectively.
Comparatively, the southern region of the state witnessed subdued rainy spells. In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Tuesday, Thodupuzha in Idukki district has recorded 16.4 mm of wet spells and Piravom in the Ernakulam district recorded 14.1 mm showers.
However, very light rainy spells were observed in the other districts of South Kerala. Most of them recorded drizzle lesser than 5 mm. Mancompu in Alappuzha district recorded mere spells of 2.2 mm while Kurudamannil in Pathanamthitta recorded just 1.6 mm of rainy spells.
Moreover, the offshore trough which was earlier over the Karnataka coast is now extending up to Kerala coast. This gives possibility of a few more good showers over the northern parts of the state for another 24 hours.
The saga of Subdued Rains to continue over Kerala
It seems like Monsoon rains have taken a backseat during the past few days over the state of Kerala. So much so that the region has not witnessed any heavy rains all this while. Since the advent of Southwest Monsoon this year, no active weather system was seen over Southeast Arabian Sea. Besides this, the off shore trough also remained confined to Karnataka coast.
Very light rains have occurred over the state about 0.8 mm against the normal average of 13.1 mm of rainfall during last 24 hours. In Kasaragode district, Hosdurg received 9.2 mm.

Taliparamba in Kannur district received 4 mm and Cherthala in Alappuzha recorded 3.5 mm of rainfall.
These weather conditions are expected to persist during the next 24 hours as well. Rainfall intensity is expected to remain subdued over the state.
At present, the rainfall deficiency has further increased and now stands at 29%. Though Kerala may receive on and off light rains, the rainfall deficiency will not be covered this season.
Subdued Rains to continue over parts of Kerala
Southwest Monsoon continues to be weak over Kerala. On and off rains observed over the state could be attributed to the feeble off-shore trough extending from Maharashtra coast to North Kerala coast.
Very light rains have occurred over the state about 1.1 mm against the normal average of 11.9 mm of rainfall during last 24 hours. In Kollam district, Kollam received 15 mm. Likewise in Pathanamthitta district, Konni recorded 8.8 mm of rainfall. In Kannur district, Irikkur received around 5 mm and Taliparamba 3.2 mm of rainfall. Thodupuzha in Idukki district also received 4.3 mm of rainfall.

This type of weather condition is expected to continue over Kerala for the next few days. Monsoon rainfall may intensify over Kerala around August end.
As of now, the rainfall deficiency has further increased and now stands at 29%. Though Kerala may receive on and off good rains, but the rainfall deficiency will not be covered this Southwest Monsoon.

At present, the state of Kerala is 28 percent rain deficient. So Far, Kerala has recorded 1162 mm rain against 1620 mm of rainfall.
Subdued Monsoon rain saga continues over Kerala
Southwest Monsoon has since the beginning not given very heavy rains over the state of Kerala. However, the state received good spells of Monsoon rains during the months of June and July. In fact, a few heavy spells were also witnessed but they were not enough for the state.
To top it all, Monsoon rains took a backseat during the past few days. So much so that the region has not witnessed any heavy rainy spells all this while.
During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Kottayam recorded 11.8 mm rainfall followed by Kozhikode where 4.2 mm rainfall was received. Other areas to have received good rains include Punalur 4 mm, Kochi 4.2 mm, and Kannur 7 mm.
