- 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.
