The summer showers are likely to gain momentum over southern and central parts of the State by the middle of next week triggered by the cyclonic circulations over the Bay of Bengal.
After a short break of two days, thunderstorms with moderate intensity will be witnessed in the southern parts of the State from Wednesday.
According to a weather bulletin issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), a trough runs from west Vidarbha to south interior Karnataka at 0.9 km above mean sea level. The cyclonic circulation now lies over Southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas of North Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu.
