SimpliCity News Team · 18 Mar 2024

Coimbatore: Coimbatore Weatherman Santhosh Krishnan has issued a weather alert for the Kongu belt, including Coimbatore and South Interior Tamil Nadu, predicting isolated moderate to heavy thunderstorms from March 21 to 23. Coastal interior regions of Tamil Nadu may also witness moderate rains. Areas proximate to the Western Ghats like Nilgiris, Thimbam, Siruvani, and Valparai ghats are expected to receive heavier rainfall.

While the rains will not be widespread, certain locales are likely to see significant accumulation. This climatic pattern is attributed to a Western disturbance over North India, which is modifying the flow of easterlies over South India, leading to atmospheric instability.

Comprehensive rain activity is projected to commence in April, as indicated in prior updates. Details will be shared closer to the event. Farmers and residents are advised to plan their activities in accordance with the forecast provided well in advance.
