Summer season begins in Kerala

Gone are the days of great rains ? When will we see rains like this ?

Now we have the sidereal month of Capricorn and it is cold at morn and hot at midday.

We cannot expect any rains now. There may be summer rains but then these are occasional. Edava Pathi will begin on May 29 and we have to wait till that time for the rain gods to smile.

Now we are bracing for a blistering summer. It is to be noted that last year more than 100 people died due to sunstroke.

Climate Change, triggered by Global Warming, can be a big threat. We hope that people will take precautions this summer.

Now the Sun is transiting Alpha Sagittari and we have to wait for rains till the Sun enters the Pleaides, the Seven Sisters. Summer rains may intrude but then these are only of short duration. Kerala does get summer rains, may be, 200 - 400 mm.
