A low-pressure area developing over the Bay of Bengal is set to strengthen, potentially leading to rainfall in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. The system, originating on Tuesday, is moving west-northwestwards and is expected to intensify over the southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining regions. Dry weather is forecasted for Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal until Thursday, with a shift in weather conditions anticipated thereafter.
Moderate rainfall is predicted for coastal districts of Tamil Nadu and southern interior areas post-Thursday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) suggests that moderate rainfall may occur in various places across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on February 21 due to the weather system’s impact on atmospheric conditions. Residents in coastal and southern districts are advised to stay informed through official bulletins for updates.
In northern Tamil Nadu, light mist is expected during early morning hours on Wednesday and Thursday, potentially affecting visibility in some areas, particularly at dawn. Chennai is likely to experience partly cloudy skies during the day, with a chance of light mist in certain areas in the early morning. Daytime conditions are expected to be stable, with no significant rainfall immediately expected.
Authorities are closely monitoring the movement and strengthening of the low-pressure system. Fishermen and coastal communities are urged to be cautious and follow updates from the meteorological department. Further developments are anticipated as the system progresses over the Bay of Bengal.
