Famous Local Storms of the Hot Weather Season
(1) Mango Shower: Towards the end of summer, there are pre-monsoon showers, which are a common phenomenon in Kerala and the coastal areas of Karnataka. Locally, they are known as Mango Showers, since they help in the early ripening of mangoes.
(ii) Blossom Shower: With this shower, coffee flowers blossom in Kerala and nearby areas.
(iii) Nor Westers: These are dreaded evening thunderstorms in Bengal and Assam. Their notorious nature can be understood from the local nomenclature of ‘Kalbaisakhi’, a calamity of the month of Baisakh. These showers are useful for tea, jute and rice cultivation. In Assam, these storms are known as “Bardoli Chheerha”.
(iv) Loo: Hot, dry and oppressing winds blowing in the Northern plains, from Punjab to Bihar, with higher intensity between Delhi and Patna.
