Rainfall to dip
IMD forecasts have indicated a reduction in rainfall after Tuesday.
The low pressure area which lies over the north Andaman Sea and a fresh one which is likely to form off south Maharashtra coast by Wednesday are not likely to have much impact on Kerala, IMD officials here said.
The low pressure system over the north Andaman Sea is likely to become well-marked, approaching the Andhra Pradesh-north Tamil Nadu coasts by Thursday.
The possibility of further intensification of the system appears to be low, the IMD said. The low pressure area likely to form off the south Maharashtra coast is expected to take a west-northwestward path subsequently.
