Sporadic showers across TN to continue

The relatively dry phase of the monsoon has kept the coastal areas warm over the past few days. As the low level easterlies are slowly picking up, the interior parts of TN could expect some thunderstorms due to wind convergence in the afternoon or evening.

A low pressure in the Andaman sea is in the offing after a few days, however the movement is still uncertain although many models indicate a south westward track during the later part of the month. Hopes are on for a fresh rain wave during last few days of the month for TN as a whole.
