ADI PERUKU

 The gradual (past 24 hrs since 06Z of today) decrease in strength of SWM winds in the west, especially in the deep south and then slight increase of strength of SWM winds today [21.07.2015/ 09Z] is indication of LESSER amount of RF in Kerala & Karnataka region which is UNCOMMON for July. 

"ADI PERUKU" is a festival usually celebrated in the upstream and down stream Cauvery districts of Tamilnadu [i.e Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Salem, Erode, Namakkal, Karur, Tricy,Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, & Nagapattinam districts of Tamilnadu and Karaikal district of Puducherry] on 18th day of ADI month i.e THIRD AUGUST.  I hope rain guard will be cordial for Tamil Nadu.
