  • ‘Monsoon prone to attain Kerala by Sunday’, predicts IMD

    By Express News Service
    KOCHI: The southwest monsoon has coated most components of Sri Lanka and is all set to reach in Kerala throughout the subsequent couple of days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated in a press release on Friday that “conditions are likely to become favourable for the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala around May 31.”

    However, monsoon won’t be energetic throughout the preliminary days. The IMD has forecast under regular rainfall in Kerala until June 3. South Kerala districts from Thiruvananthapuram to Kottayam will obtain regular to above regular rainfall from June 3 to 10 whereas the rainfall might be under regular in North Kerala districts.

    “Below normal rainfall does not mean no rainfall. There will be light showers in the morning. Formation of a low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal may strengthen the monsoon,” stated IMD former director S Sudevan.

    Kerala has witnessed a change within the monsoon sample over the past decade, stated Cusat Department of Atmospheric Science affiliate professor S Abhilash. “While we used to get heavy rainfall during the June-July period, the rainy days have now shifted to August – September. Another feature is the formation of cyclones during the onset of monsoon. Cyclone Vayu in 2019 June and Cyclone Nisarga in 2020 June adversely affected the progress of monsoon. This year it was Cyclone Tauktae. The warming of Arabian sea has contributed to the climate change,” he stated.

    Meanwhile Kerala has acquired a big extra of 125 per cent rainfall throughout the pre-monsoon interval. This had prompted fears that heavy rainfall throughout the onset of monsoon might set off floods. The rainfall was 64 per cent extra in March and 21 per cent extra in April. The state acquired 732.8 mm rainfall from March to May 28 as in opposition to regular rainfall of 326.2 mm.

    Allaying fears of launch of water from giant dams, KSEB chairman N S Pillai stated there’s solely 40 per cent storage in these dams. “The crest level of Idukki dam is 2,373ft and the water level on Friday stood at 2338.98ft. So the water level has to rise 34ft to open the spillway. We don’t see possibility of release of water even if it rains heavily for a few days. Water is being released from small dams like Moozhiyar (capacity 1.6 MCM), Kallarkutty (6 MCM) and Lower Periyar (5 MCM),” he stated.
