THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JUNE 10 :
The West coast is bracing for the biggest yet push since the onset of
the monsoon as huge banks of cloud hung menacingly off the Goa-Mangaluru
coast in the North and Kochi-to-Nagercoil in the South.
An India Met Department has forecast heavy to very heavy rain at a few
places over coastal Karnataka, South interior Karnataka, Konkan-Goa, and
Kerala later today.
Cloud coverage
Satellite pictures around noon show clouds having penetrated into the
interior of the peninsula and are hovering above Panjim, Belgavi, Hubli
and Bellari in Karnataka; Kolhapur, Vijayapura, Solapur, Satara, Beed,
Pune, and Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra; and Anantapur, Kadapa, Vijayawada,
Guntur, Bhimavaram and Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh.
The US Climate Prediction Centre sees the rain advancing to the East across the peninsula during the week ending June 15.
Heavy to very rain has been forecast by the US agency for Konkan-Goa and
the Northeastern states along with parts of Gangetic West Bengal during
this phase.
Flare-up seen
The week that follows (June 16 to 22) would once again witness a monsoon
flare-up over coastal Karnataka again, followed by Konkan-Mumbai,
according to extended forecasts by the agency.
An expansive run of the monsoon during the week would push rains into
entire Central and East India (Central and East Madhya Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and Bihar) and even North-West India
(Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh
and North Rajasthan).
Rains are, however, forecast to be normal over Bihar, Jharkhand and
parts of Chhattisgarh during this phase. The rest of the areas mentioned
above should see above normal rains.
