Rain Returns, Signals Start of Northeast Monsoon

Rain activity has picked up across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala this week, marking the beginning signs of the Northeast Monsoon.

The Bay of Bengal is likely to see monsoon withdrawal soon, paving the way for the next seasonal phase.

Light to moderate rainfall is expected over coastal and southern regions from October 10 to 13, bringing much-needed relief after recent dry days.

Chennai, Bengaluru, and coastal Andhra areas may witness brief heavy spells.

Farmers are advised to prepare for early showers as the transition from the Southwest to Northeast Monsoon gains pace across peninsular India.
