The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate rainfall in various parts of Tamil Nadu for the next three days due to an active atmospheric circulation over the Comorin region and the southeast Arabian Sea. Delta districts like Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, and Pudukkottai are expected to receive moderate rainfall on Monday. Southern and northern Tamil Nadu will also experience similar weather conditions in the coming days.
While most interior areas of the state will have generally dry weather, some regions may see isolated rain spells. Additionally, light fog is anticipated during early morning hours in several areas, especially in inland districts. The IMD forecasts that minimum temperatures in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will be 2 to 3 degrees Celsius below normal in the next few days.
In higher altitudes, colder conditions are expected with a possibility of frost or cold spells in hilly regions like the Nilgiris and Kodaikanal. Residents in these areas are advised to take precautions against the cold weather. Chennai is expected to have a maximum temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius with early morning mist or light fog affecting visibility in some parts of the city.
The IMD has issued a strong advisory to fishermen, warning them against going to sea along the southern Tamil Nadu coast, the Gulf of Mannar, and the Kumari sea region. Wind speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour are expected in these areas, leading to rough and potentially dangerous sea conditions. Fishermen are urged to stay onshore until weather conditions improve, while authorities are instructed to provide timely warnings to coastal communities.
