The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a gradual increase in maximum temperatures in Tamil Nadu over the next two days. Certain areas may experience light rainfall later in the week due to prevailing atmospheric conditions. A low-pressure circulation is currently present over the Gulf of Mannar and adjacent regions, while another low-level atmospheric circulation has formed over the central parts of the south Bay of Bengal and nearby areas of the Indian Ocean. These weather systems are expected to impact conditions in Tamil Nadu in the upcoming days.
Due to these weather developments, light rainfall is anticipated in districts along the Western Ghats and the coastal districts of southern Tamil Nadu from the day after Friday until March 9. Although widespread rainfall is not foreseen, isolated areas in these regions might receive brief showers during this period. Additionally, the IMD has indicated that a few places in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry could witness moderate rainfall on March 10, offering temporary relief in some areas where temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days.
The IMD has warned that maximum temperatures in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are set to gradually increase, aligning with the seasonal shift towards the summer months when heat levels typically intensify across the region. The IMD stated that summer heat may be more intense than usual in various parts of the country, including Tamil Nadu, advising the public to remain cautious and take necessary precautions as temperatures climb in the upcoming weeks. The IMD also recommended using the government’s MAUSAM mobile application for real-time weather updates and early warnings about lightning strikes and other extreme weather events. The app can help individuals stay informed and take timely safety measures, especially during unstable weather periods. Authorities have advised residents, particularly farmers and outdoor workers, to stay updated on official weather forecasts and plan activities accordingly as temperatures rise and scattered rainfall is expected in parts of the state over the next few days.
