The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall in the western ghats districts of South India due to multiple low-pressure systems over neighbouring sea regions. This weather pattern is expected to continue until February 5.
Currently, a cyclonic circulation is active over the southeastern Arabian Sea near Lakshadweep and Kerala coasts. Another low-pressure cyclonic circulation has formed over the Comorin Sea and nearby areas.
These weather systems are influencing the regional climate, leading to intermittent rainfall in the western ghats districts. Residents, especially those living in hilly and landslide-prone zones, have been advised to remain cautious as the rain may disrupt daily activities and travel plans.
The IMD has also issued fog warnings for several interior districts including Krishnagiri, Tirupattur, Vellore, Ranipet, Nilgiris, and Dindigul. Morning fog is expected to reduce visibility, prompting authorities to advise drivers to exercise care on the roads.
Meanwhile, Chennai is expected to experience relatively stable weather with light cloud cover throughout the day. The minimum temperature is forecasted to hover around 23 degrees Celsius, resulting in a pleasant climate compared to the cooler and damper inland areas.
At present, no severe weather alerts have been issued, but meteorological officials are closely monitoring the low-pressure systems for any significant changes in rainfall intensity or wind patterns. Any major updates will be communicated promptly through official channels.
Fishermen along the Kerala and Lakshadweep coasts have been urged to stay alert due to possible changes in sea conditions caused by the cyclonic activity.
Residents in the affected regions are encouraged to stay updated with the latest weather bulletins and follow guidelines issued by local authorities to ensure safety during this period of seasonal weather fluctuations.
