55 conclusions The model could simulate the mesoscale circulation associated with heavy rainfall events Assimilation of station observation along with analysis nudging improves the location of the heavy precipitation events The results indicate medium range prediction capability of weak and active monsoon phases Westward propagating monsoon low pressure systems seems to trigger the heavy rainfall episodes over the west coast Simple Ice, Goddard and Reisner 2 schemes of cloud microphysics are noted to perform better than Warm rain, Mixed phase and Schultz schemes
