On Tuesday, between 8:30 am till 5:30 pm, rainfall/thundershowers were observed at most places over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Kerala & Mahe and Andaman & Nicobar Islands; at many places over Assam and Meghalaya; at a few places over Jammu & Kashmir, Lakshadweep, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal; and at isolated places over West Bengal, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
The IMD ascribed the reason to strong southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal to northeast India and adjoining east India and an east-west trough from northwest Rajasthan to west Assam at lower tropospheric levels.
Thunderstorms were observed at many places over north interior Karnataka, at a few places over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and at isolated places over Jammu & Kashmir, west Rajasthan, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya.
The IMD has further predicted that fairly widespread light/moderate rainfall is likely to continue over northeast India, sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Scattered to fairly widespread rainfall is likely over Bihar, Gangetic West Bengal, south Peninsular India and Western Himalayan Region while for the rest of the country, it would be dry weather.
"This is due to strong southwesterly winds from Bay of Bengal to northeast and adjoining east India at lower tropospheric levels," the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.
There is likely to be scattered rainfall with isolated thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds likely over Bihar, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal, and Odisha during next 3-4 days, it added.
A cyclonic circulation lies over Lakshadweep area in middle tropospheric levels and another cyclonic circulation lies over north Tamil Nadu coast in lower tropospheric levels. Under the influence of these, there are cyclonic circulations and strong lower level westerly flow from Arabian Sea.
The IMD bulletin also warned of fairly widespread to widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated thunderstorm/lightning/gusty wind with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall very likely over Kerala, coastal and south interior Karnataka during next four days, isolated heavy rainfall over Tamil Nadu till May 18, and over Lakshadweep area on Tuesday.
Isolated extremely heavy rainfall is also likely over coastal and south interior Karnataka on May 18.
The monsoon's arrival is eagerly awaited as it has a deep impact on India's agriculture and economy and hence termed as the real Finance Minister of India.
"This year, the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala is likely to be earlier than normal date of onset. The monsoon onset over Kerala is likely to be on May 27 with a model error of plus or minus four days," the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
In the Indian monsoon region, initial monsoon rains are experienced over south Andaman Sea and the monsoon winds then advance north-westwards across the Bay of Bengal. As per the normal dates of monsoon onset/progress, the southwest monsoon advances over the Andaman Sea around May 22.
"In association with enhanced cross equatorial winds, conditions are becoming favourable for advance of Southwest Monsoon into South Andaman Sea, Nicobar Islands and some parts of southeast Bay of Bengal, around May 15," the IMD said.
Past data suggest that there is no association of the date of monsoon advance over the Andaman Sea either with the date of monsoon onset over Kerala or with the seasonal monsoon rainfall over the country, the IMD pointed out.

Coastal Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka were battered by heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over the last four days due to a cyclonic storm that had turned into a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal.
