Scattered showers to continue in Tamil Nadu
A cyclonic circulation lies over Gulf of Siam and neighbourhood and extends up to 3.1 Kilometers above mean sea level. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to develop over North Andaman sea during next 24 hours. Models are hinting a south-west dip once it enters Bay of Bengal waters and moving towards Tamil Nadu/Sri Lanka coast as a weak system.
Meanwhile, Isolated rainfall is expected to continue in few parts of interiors and coastal TN owing to weak easterlies hitting TN coast. A gradual increase in rainfall can be expected from now on.
