Chennai, Nov 8 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Center in Chennai has predicted heavy rainfall in four southern districts of Tamil Nadu on Saturday due to low level atmospheric circulation over South India.
According to the latest weather bulletin, heavy rains are likely in Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts.
Due to the weather system currently present over the southern peninsula, there is a possibility of moderate to heavy rain with thunder and lightning in isolated areas of these districts.
The weather department said the intensity of rain may vary, with some interior and coastal areas receiving heavy rainfall during the evening and night.
The bulletin further said that Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts are also likely to receive intense rainfall on Sunday, indicating that wet conditions may continue over the region for the next few days.
Officials have advised the public to remain vigilant in low-lying areas prone to waterlogging and urged the district administration to remain vigilant against possible disruptions in normal life.
Chennai and its suburban areas are expected to have partly cloudy sky throughout the day.
There is a possibility of light to moderate rain with thunder and lightning in some parts of the city after the evening. Despite being cloudy, there will be sunshine at times during the day.
The maximum temperature in Chennai is likely to hover between 32 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may hover around 25 degrees Celsius to 26 degrees Celsius.
Winds are expected to blow at moderate speeds from the north-east, in line with the ongoing north-east monsoon activity over the region.
The weather department has not issued any warning for fishermen, indicating that sea conditions off the Tamil Nadu coast are expected to be generally safe for marine activities.
However, officials have urged fishermen to remain alert and monitor subsequent updates, as the developing atmospheric circulation may cause local weather changes.
