Though rains have now taken a break but sky remains mostly cloudy and north & interior Tamil Nadu districts can expect some more good spells of rains through the day. The depression in West central Bay of Bengal is weakening due to the proximity to the coast and the system is most likely to weaken gradually in 24 hours and cross Odisha coastal area. In Tamil Nadu, the cloud cover along with moisture incursion will also lead to slight rise in morning minimums, while the maximum temperature may soar by a few notches at most places over the next two to three days.
