Dry and cool weather lays anchor over TN

In the absence of synoptic systems in the Bay of Bengal, calm weather is expected over the State. A strong seasonal high pressure area, called as the sub tropical ridge extends along the peninsula bringing clear cool nights and dry weather. Numerical models expect similar conditions to persist over this week.

A feeble easterly wave is anticipated to trigger a moderate rain spell across the coastal TN during the second week of January.
