Crazy numbers across Kerala.
Vadakkanchery 338mm
Alathur 300mm
Haven't seen such numbers in Kerala since August 2019 carnage
Atleast both August 2019, 2018 were predicted by weather models, this one has been totally unpicked by any models

I know I sound like I am exaggerating, but weather models are showing CATASTROPHIC RAINS over Ernakulam, Thrissur and Idukki district
These rains will be fuelled by massive vorticity over Ernakulam district

From May 7(+ or - 1 day) onwards, intense summer rains will commence over the region, which will bring down the temperatures.

I am seeing more and more people who are putting blame of Kerala rains on global warming
This is wrong, Kerala rains used to be much more violent /dangerous pre 1980s. 2018 rains are nothing compared to 1924, 1961
Environmental destruction is the reason for floods, IMO

Coastal Karnataka is the rainiest subdivision of the country during June, July and August and Udupi the rainiest district in the country
Yet public mistakenly assumes Meghalaya to be the wettest region, which is largely a 2 station wonder

Controversial take:
System has been a failure for Chennai, not even a single station crossed 100mm, samalification of saying we got 60mm doesn't cut ice
It is unrealistic to expect 200-300mm in a single day, but 100-150mm is a realistic expectation which failed
#ChennaiRains

What does very vorticity imply?
It means rainfall that is to be spread across Kerala, gets concentrated into a single stretch.
For eg, within next 24 hrs, Aluva can get 400mm rainfall, while Thrissur just 40mm
This can absolutely pulverise the affected region

There are very less chances for any system that will form in the upcoming week to move beyond Nellore.
