Monsoon Retreat Puts South India On High Alert; Heavy Rains Hit Kerala, Tamil Nadu | Planet Pulse

Description: Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, after a weak season marked by a nationwide 13% rainfall deficit, the Indian southwest monsoon’s retreat is turning into a high-risk weather phase, with Southern India right in the crosshairs. Instead of a dry exit, active atmospheric troughs and cyclonic circulations are dumping persistent heavy downpours across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Puducherry. The primary cause is a violent weather overlap: the retreating southwest monsoon is colliding directly with the incoming northeast monsoon over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. Combined with incoming Western Disturbances up north, this transition is bringing localised total downpours, gusty winds, and extreme temperature swings across the country. The IMD has issued alerts urging residents to avoid travel and farmers to clear drainage channels. Here is a full breakdown of why monsoon withdrawal is becoming South India’s most dangerous weather period. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you more on Planet Pulse.
