Chennai, Nov 10 (NationPress) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for significant rainfall across several districts in Tamil Nadu over the upcoming two days, specifically targeting Thanjavur, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, Virudhunagar, and Thoothukudi.
Residents in these areas are advised to remain vigilant as moderate to heavy rains are anticipated, along with thunderstorms.
In its recent weather update, the IMD indicated that light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by lightning and thunder, may also occur in various locations across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal on Monday.
The department warned that sporadic showers could intensify in the southern and western districts as moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal continue to affect the region's weather.
The forecast predicts that heavy rain will impact Thoothukudi, Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram, Pudukkottai, and Thanjavur districts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additionally, areas such as Tirunelveli, Kanniyakumari, the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Theni, and Tenkasi may experience heavy downpours during this timeframe.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai further indicated that on Thursday, heavy rainfall is expected in Coimbatore, the Nilgiris, Dindigul, Theni, Tenkasi, Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli, and Thoothukudi districts.
This extensive wet spell could offer temporary relief to drought-affected regions but may also result in waterlogging and transport disruptions in low-lying areas.
For Chennai and its neighboring suburbs, the RMC has forecast isolated thunderstorms with light to moderate rain on Monday evening. However, officials stated that there are currently no warnings or advisories for fishermen, as coastal wind speeds are projected to remain stable over the next few days.
Weather experts have noted that the ongoing conditions align with the northeast monsoon pattern, which is actively influencing the southern peninsular region. The IMD will continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue alerts as necessary to prioritize public safety.
