The impact of the scorching heat was intense in a few places in Tamil Nadu on Sunday (yesterday, 12th May). However, at the same time, it rained in a few places as well! This condition will prevail for some more time. Due to a recent low-pressure zone formed over the region of Rayalaseema to interior Tamil Nadu and also due to the phenomenon of thermal convection, there are prospects of mild rain in a few places in Tamil Nadu today (Monday, 13th May).
