The rain gods have awakened at last. The weak tropical storm NADA hovering off the Tamil Nadu coast is pushing the north east monsoons into southern India. The storm is diffused. It's flails are bringing rainfall even to far flung Andhra Pradesh.
The JTWC estimates the wind speeds of NADA is 75 km/h, gusts upto 90 km/h. Rains are continuing in coastal Tamil Nadu under its influence. Rains in the state will continue for the next 24-36 hours. Neighbouring Kerala may receive rainfall on December 3, especially Kochi.
Nada will make landfall today evening near Nagapattinam.
Nada is a little boy. Another cyclone in the Bay of Bengal is imminent soon. And it is going to be big, bad and very ugly. Cyclone VARDAH has already been born in the South China Sea. In a day or two it will slip into the Bay of Bengal. Forecast models hint at the possibility of the low pressure intensifying into 975 hPa roaring monster which hit Andhra Pradesh on December 10, 2016.
