The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall in parts of Tamil Nadu’s delta region on Sunday. Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, and Mayiladuthurai districts are expected to receive heavy rainfall, with strong winds reaching speeds of up to 50 kmph in isolated areas. Moderate showers are likely in several other districts due to an atmospheric circulation prevailing over the state’s northern coastal parts.
The weather system is anticipated to trigger rainfall activity across various parts of Tamil Nadu. Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Cuddalore, and Tiruvannamalai districts are expected to experience moderate rainfall. Similar conditions are foreseen in Kallakurichi, Villupuram, Ariyalur, Perambalur, and Pudukkottai districts, as well as in the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Meteorologists have highlighted that the atmospheric circulation over the northern coastal belt is drawing moisture into the region, creating conducive conditions for rainfall. This system is likely to maintain wet weather over the delta and neighboring districts throughout the day.
In contrast to the anticipated rainfall in many areas, Chennai and its suburbs are expected to face hot and humid conditions. Temperatures in parts of the city may soar to around 39 degrees Celsius, but moderate rain is also expected later in the day, offering some relief from the heat.
The combination of high temperatures and moisture-laden winds is expected to create uncomfortable weather conditions in Chennai. Authorities have advised residents in districts expecting heavy rainfall to remain cautious, especially in low-lying areas prone to water-logging. People have been urged to take necessary precautions during thunderstorms and strong winds.
With the southwest monsoon active and local weather systems influencing conditions in Tamil Nadu, officials are closely monitoring the situation. The public is advised to stay informed through official weather bulletins and alerts issued by the IMD. Recent intermittent rainfall in various parts of the state has provided relief from the summer heat but also raised concerns about localized flooding in vulnerable areas.
