The Morning Standard

October 01, 2023

THE northeast monsoon that brings rain to five meteorological sub-divisions of south peninsular India between October-December is most likely to be normal, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Saturday.

The five states are Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema, Kerala and south-interior Karnataka.

Normal monsoon would mean the region may receive 88% to 112% of the long-period average of 334.13 mm of rainfall.
