Another weatherman expressed his views and spoke about how strong easterly surge has been created now due to low pressure that is persisting over the interior parts of TN. He later added that this easterly surge would play an important role in bringing rains across most parts of TN. The weatherman later spoke about the convergence of dry northerlies and moist easterlies fall over parts of northwest interior of TN and adjoining parts of south interior Karnataka. This would be the reason for the rainfall in the interior places.
