Clash of the easterlies coincides with westerly trough
The easterly trough coming inside coincides with the Western Disturbance at Kashmir and from my personal observation, these type of rains mostly results in Good rainfall for Tamil Nadu. Some surprise numbers can be observed in Tamil Nadu in the next 4 days.
