Rain Likely in Coastal Tamil Nadu from Tuesday Due to Low-Pressure System
Tamil Nadu`s coastal areas are set to experience rainfall starting Tuesday as a low-pressure area (LPA) develops over the southeast Bay of Bengal. According to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, this system is expected to intensify further and move west-northwestward towards the Tamil Nadu coast over the next two days.
The low-pressure formation is driven by an upper air cyclonic circulation over the South Andaman Sea and adjacent southeast Bay of Bengal.
