One of the best days for dry belts of Tiruppur and Coimbatore. Two more days the Thunderstorms are expected to continue in Tamil Nadu and then less than normal and dry days for some days. But may month as a whole looks good for TN interiors with active thunderstorms seen throughout the month.
Today to Tomorrow morning
——————
Today to Tomorrow morning interpretation, action to shift to South TN and with so much rains in North Interior TN, there will be some break in rains tonight. Sivaganga, Pudukottai and Ramanthapuram and even Thanjavur which have missed rains so far have good chance to grasp some rains today/tomorrow from this spell.
KTC
——
Tomorrow the last chance exist, but that too feeble one with most of the convergence shifted to Pondy to Delta belt. After that we go in for break in rains, which means there will rains at isolated districts not like the list put up below.
Cyclone ? Pushed back further
——–
From May 1st week earlier the cyclone landfall has been pushed to May 2nd week. Further, MJO is moving away from our basin, Even if a cyclone forms…Climatology mostly favours Bangladesh and Burma. High chance of it going to Burma and Bangladesh than anywhere else. Last year Fani was rare 1 in 100 year odisha landfall because Odisha rarely gets May cyclone.
You can see ECMWF changed the location to Burma again and by 2.00 pm windy app will be updating the cyclone it earlier showed close to Odisha to Burma now. So this may not be final track too. Coming to GFS which was spinning monster for two weeks has been spinning a dummy past two days. So lets wait for cyclone to form first and then take a call.
Rainfall in Tamil Nadu, ending on 29.04.2020, some district data are missing due to lockdown.
