Sir,is there any possibility of rainfall in coming days over Gobichettipalayam(Erode dt -TN) in coming week.. Day time temperature is settling in 40 range from last week. Water scarcity also increasing.. It may be useful for our farms.

Prabhakaran: I can understand your concern. But seeing the Western Disturbance scenario, I see the necessary (For your region) Line of wind discontinuity forming in 2nd week of April. The LWD brings rain to interior peninsula and is a pre monsoon feature. We have Western disturbance M-5 coming and maybe M-6 in April first week. Till then, LWD may not form.
Nilgiri District may get some showers 30th /31st March. May not be widespread.

Hopefully, after the WDs, we see the Line of Wind Discontinuity starts forming to bring showers to interior Peninsula

Wish it would come in a week earlier and bring down the heat :)

Arjun: There is an induced Low in the WD trough over MP..and if you see the upper winds image, you will notice (as on Saturday evening and night) strong SW winds blowing towards the low along the Mah coast. Also see the Saturday evening and night Water Vapour image...its brining in a good amount of moisture from SW towards the low taking the route off the Mah coast.
