Chennai, Dec 29 (NationPress) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate rainfall across various regions of Tamil Nadu over the next three days due to an active atmospheric circulation affecting the Comorin area and the neighboring southeast Arabian Sea.
The Weather Department indicates that delta districts such as Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, and Pudukkottai are likely to see moderate rainfall on Monday.
Similar weather patterns are expected to persist in both southern and northern Tamil Nadu for the next two days.
The IMD mentioned that while most interior regions of the state may encounter generally dry weather, isolated rainfall is anticipated in certain areas.
Additionally, light fog is expected during the early morning hours in various locations, particularly in inland districts.
The forecast predicts that minimum temperatures throughout Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will likely remain 2 to 3 degrees Celsius below average in the upcoming days.
Colder conditions are forecasted in elevated areas, with potential frost or cold spells occurring in hilly regions like the Nilgiris and Kodaikanal. Residents in these regions are urged to take precautions against the chilly weather.
In Chennai, the maximum temperature is expected to be around 30 degrees Celsius. Early morning mist or light fog might affect visibility in some parts of the city.
Meanwhile, the IMD has released a strong advisory for fishermen, warning them to avoid venturing into the sea along the southern coast of Tamil Nadu, the Gulf of Mannar, and the surrounding Kumari sea area. Wind speeds in these regions could reach up to 65 kilometers per hour, resulting in rough and potentially hazardous sea conditions.
Fishermen are recommended to remain onshore until conditions improve, and authorities are tasked with monitoring the situation and providing timely warnings to coastal communities.
