Bengaluru, Sep 06, 2021: Heavy rainfall is expected to lash Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and parts of South India this week, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in its weather forecast. The weather agency said that enhanced rainfall activity with heavy showers is very likely in the southern states during the next 2-3 days and a reduction in intensity and distribution thereafter. The current weather conditions are due to the influence of the west-northwestward movement of the likely Low-Pressure area or its remnant cyclonic circulation.

The IMD said the monsoon trough lies south of its normal position. It is likely to run to the south of its normal position during the next 3 days.

The IMD said that heavy rainfall is expected to lash south Odisha, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Vidarbha and south Chhattisgarh during September 6-7 and north Marathawada, north Madhya Maharashtra, north Konkan and Gujarat during September 7-9, 2021.
