Developing Bay Low to Bring Rain Across Tamil Nadu Through Next Week

Forecasters say a forming system over the southwest Bay of Bengal could intensify thunderstorms with rough seas.

Overview

  • The IMD and RMC reported isolated heavy rain on Wednesday in Tirunelveli, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi and Kanyakumari due to a trough over the southeast Arabian Sea.
  • From November 13–17, intermittent light to moderate showers are expected across many districts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, with isolated heavy spells likely over the delta belt.
  • Rainfall is forecast to increase on November 18 across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal as the low-pressure area develops over the Bay of Bengal.
  • Fishermen have been urged to avoid venturing into the sea in the coming days because gusty winds could produce rough coastal conditions.
  • Local authorities have been asked to stay ready for waterlogging, flooding of low-lying areas and traffic disruptions where heavier bursts occur.
