Light to moderate rainfall is forecasted in several coastal districts of southern Tamil Nadu until Sunday due to a prevailing low-pressure system, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The weather disturbance spans from southern Tamil Nadu to coastal Karnataka, creating favorable conditions for rain in the State’s southern coastal belt. This system is expected to impact the region’s weather patterns over the next few days, with districts like Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, and Thoothukudi likely to experience intermittent rainfall.
The rainfall is anticipated to be generally light, with occasional moderate showers possible in some areas based on local atmospheric conditions. The rain-bearing system is seen as a relief from the dry weather in coastal districts, while most interior parts of Tamil Nadu are expected to remain dry. The low-pressure area’s atmospheric circulation has increased moisture inflow from the sea, particularly affecting districts along the southern coastline, leading to cloudy skies and scattered showers in these regions.
Meteorologists also predict a slight rise in night temperatures across Tamil Nadu and the Karaikal region, with minimum temperatures expected to increase by about 2 degrees Celsius compared to the seasonal average, indicating a mild warming trend at night. In Chennai, the sky is forecasted to be partly cloudy in the coming days, with no significant rainfall expected. The maximum temperature in the State capital is likely to be around 34 degrees Celsius, considered normal for this period.
The evolving weather system is under close monitoring, and any changes in intensity or rainfall pattern will be communicated through regular forecasts and advisories. Residents in southern coastal districts, especially fishermen and coastal communities, are advised to stay updated with official weather bulletins due to potential sea and wind condition changes during the period of atmospheric instability. The IMD will continue to monitor the system’s development and provide necessary updated forecasts.
