Chennai, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : A low-pressure area is anticipated to develop in the Bay of Bengal on November 13, according to forecasts from the Chennai Regional Meteorological Centre. Heavy rainfall is expected in four districts of southern Tamil Nadu on Wednesday.
The weather system is likely to move northwest and intensify into a depression within the next 24 hours. While the forecast indicates the potential for strengthening, details regarding landfall locations or specific coastal districts affected have not been provided.
The weather center has predicted heavy rainfall for the districts of Shivganga, Ramanathapuram, Tuticorin, and Tirunelveli on Wednesday. These areas are highlighted as primary regions for expected heavy precipitation. Other parts of the state may experience moderate rainfall, including the Cauvery Delta districts.
Moderate rain is also anticipated in Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, and Nagapattinam, along with Pudukkottai. The forecast extends to Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Tenkasi, and Kanyakumari, where moderate rainfall is expected throughout the day.
Overall, the district-wise predictions suggest varying intensities of rain across most parts of southern Tamil Nadu, including some areas of the delta region.
In Chennai, partly cloudy conditions are expected, with light rain possible in some areas of the city. The forecast for the capital appears milder compared to the heavy rainfall expected in the four southern districts.
Wednesday’s district forecasts relate to the current likelihood of rain, while the formation of the low-pressure area is projected for Friday, November 13. The anticipated northwest movement and subsequent intensification will be key developments in the coming days.
However, the forecasts do not confirm whether this system will move towards the Tamil Nadu coast or where its strongest impacts might be felt. The weather center describes the formation and strengthening of the system as a possibility, but no cyclone warnings have been issued at this time.
Currently, the primary focus of the rainfall forecast remains on southern Tamil Nadu, particularly in Shivganga, Ramanathapuram, Tuticorin, and Tirunelveli, while moderate rain is expected in ten other districts and light showers may occur in parts of Chennai on Wednesday.
