Rains to return to South India & the perseids meteor shower






Rain is forecast for North east and east India, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarkhand and West & South India in the week from 10th - 16th. With some places forecast to get extremely heavy falls. There is a high possibility of a low pressure forming in the bay of Bengal after the 13th of August. Coastal areas of south Tamil Nadu and parts of north interior Tamil Nadu and south interior Karnataka could receive heavy rainfall. 




Also don't forget to watch the sky for the perseids meteor shower which has already begun and will peak between the 10th - 13th of August. Best watched away from city lights from midnight to dawn. To view the shower look NE towards the Perseus constellation, Scientists say up to 60 falling stars can be seen an hour during these days which could get higher when it peaks. The perseids are the brightest meteor showers of the year and promise to be a spectacle weather permitting..
