Cyclonic Systems Behind The Rain Surge

Meteorologists attribute the rainfall surge to a cyclonic circulation over the southwest Bay of Bengal near Tamil Nadu and a trough extending from coastal Andhra Pradesh to south interior Karnataka. Additionally, a new cyclonic system forming over the north Bay of Bengal on October 8 could further enhance rainfall along Karnataka’s coast and northern Tamil Nadu.

Skymet forecasts that Bengaluru may receive up to 100 mm of rainfall between October 8 and 12, marking a significant wet spell for the city this October.
