New Delhi: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that there would be heavy rainfall in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry over the next few days.
Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea. There would be a thunderstorm at isolated places over Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Kanyakumari, and delta districts of Tamil Nadu today.
“A cyclonic circulation lies over central parts of South Bay of Bengal and extends up to mid-tropospheric levels. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the southwest Bay of Bengal during the next 24 hours. It is likely to move west-northwestwards towards Sri Lanka & south Tamilnadu coast,” the IMD predicted.
Thunderstorm with moderate rainfall is likely to occur over the rest of Tamil Nadu. Karaikal, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall, the IMD also predicted.
