Kerala Rainfall on 12 to 15th May 2021

Location of Depression (Weakened Burevi)

Depression is still located near Pamban-Rameshwaram belt and has been in that area for past one day and will continue to remain there for one more day. So ideal location for rains in entire Tamil Nadu.

We can see the cloud temp in centre region is reduced from -58 C in morning to now just -2.5 C, so it means no clouds is left there in the centre of the Depression. All the intense clouds are pushed up north towards delta and above

Why North of Cyclone is getting rains and not South Tamil Nadu ?

In order for South Tamil Nadu like Nellai or Kanyakumari or Thenkasi to get rains, the cyclone has to move west and move into the land, the GoM are wind shear is high and it is not allowing clouds to form as it blows away the top clouds leaving the area where the Depression is located cloudless. Instead the north part of the areas where winds are converging from east. So this is why Delta – Cuddalore – Chennai is getting rains while south is dry.

When will south / South West Tamil Nadu (K4TV) and Kerala get rains ?

Once the south and West movement of Depression takes place the the convergence will shift west wards and south wards and southern Tamil Nadu will join the rain party from Ex Burevi. At the same time, west TN districts (Dindigul, Tiruppur, Coimbatore, Nilgiris also will get more rains compared to now.

So wait till the west movement for Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, Tuty, Tenkasi, Theni  and Virudhungar (K4TV) to get rains. If the shear relaxes a bit the clouds will bloom around the centre too and that time too South TN will get rains.  Even while spinning the convergence will shift west too with pull from other side. All is not over South Tamil Nadu. They will get their share of rains.

Some bands moving from west too. Parts of Kanyakumari will get rains too from it. The non movement of Depression is why South Kerala and South TN is missing the rains.  It will get its share once it moves in.

Heavy to very heavy rains

The stationery Depression  will send bands after bands to Pondy – Cuddalore – Nagai, Thanjavur – Trichy – Karur – Villupuram – Ramanthapuram – Pudukottai – Sivagangai – Madurai – Perambalur – Ariyalur – Kallakuruchi all in for very heavy rains today to tomorrow. Once it moves little west,

Chennai and KTC belt the steady rains have been reduced to drizzles.  Once this spell stops in a while, we are in for a break before. next bands spins up maybe again later in the night / tomorrow morning.

Other districts will get moderate rains too.

Kerala  – will get pull effect rains in Southern parts of the state, when wind is pulled from west to east and they converge close to ghat areas and also in Southern coastal districts
