The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts moderate rainfall and strong winds in various parts of Tamil Nadu over the next three days. The Western Ghats and Cauvery delta districts are expected to experience the most significant weather activity. An upper-air cyclonic circulation over the north coastal regions of Tamil Nadu is influencing weather conditions in the state, Puducherry, and Karaikal.
Under this influence, rainfall is anticipated to persist in many areas for at least a week. Isolated places in the Western Ghats districts, the Delta region, and northern interior Tamil Nadu may receive moderate rain and gusty winds on Friday and Saturday. Moisture-laden winds and favorable atmospheric conditions are likely to lead to widespread cloud formation and intermittent showers in these regions.
Moderate rainfall is also expected to continue over the weekend in parts of the Western Ghats, the Delta districts, and southern Tamil Nadu. The prevailing weather system is set to sustain rainfall, bringing cooler weather to various parts of the state. Districts along the Western Ghats, including hilly areas, could witness occasional spells of rain with strong surface winds.
Similar weather conditions are foreseen in the agriculturally important Cauvery Delta region, where the rainfall might benefit farming activities before the cultivation season. Residents in vulnerable areas are advised to remain cautious, especially in places prone to waterlogging and disruptions due to strong winds. People involved in outdoor activities are urged to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during intense rainfall and thunderstorms.
In Chennai, the sky is expected to be generally cloudy with chances of moderate rain, thunderstorms, and lightning in some areas. While heavy rainfall is not predicted, isolated showers could impact traffic and daily routines in parts of the city. The IMD will continue to monitor the evolving weather system closely and provide updated forecasts and advisories as needed. Rainfall is expected to continue across Tamil Nadu in the coming days, offering relief from recent humid conditions.
