Everyone following
weather in Chennai would be aware that on Jan 23rd rains to return. Not flash
rains like december. But what is interesting is the moisture kicking in from
western side of Tamil Nadu.
Straight down in
Indian Ocean there is a low pressure area persisting for past few days leading
to cyclonic circulation and gathering huge amount of precipitation. We can see
formation of clouds with water content around the low pressure. The Jet Streams
picks up clouds on the outer ring on their way and enters India from west side
in a north east direction. The
same can be seen in the satellite image. This may not guarantee any heavy rain to south
India, but for sure it brings in nice moisture to Kerala and western part of
Tamil Nadu.
On the other side, Easterlies are
filling up moisture in Bay of Bengal from eastern side. We can see them in the
below image. Hence south India to get moisture kicking in from both sides and
what they lead to will be known in coming days.
