The summer rainfall ‘quota’ for Kerala has witnessed a tremendous jump, courtesy Cyclone Tauktae that has been cutting a violent northward path across the Arabian Sea. During the period from May 14 to 17 (up to 8.30 a.m.) when Tauktae took shape and intensified, Kerala recorded 268 mm rainfall, a stunning 861% departure from the normal, officials of the IMD Meteorological Centre here said. While 27.9 mm is deemed normal for the May 14-May 17 period, the State registered an increase due to the heavy rainfall unleashed by the turbulent weather conditions over the sea.More Related News
