Mandous has weakened a bit in the last 6 hrs from Severe Cyclone to a Cyclone, which was on expected lines. It will still cross as a cyclone south of Chennai on late night today to tomorrow early hours. Some model show intensification wen nearing coast which has been the trend in the recent years. (apologies this may sound weird to other non rain lovers, but as a pluviophile waiting to see if atleast gusts can touch 100 km/hr) but sustained winds wont cross 100 km/hr and will remain around 70 km/hr. Remember in Vardah sustained winds touched 120 km/hr and gusts touched 140 km/hr.
No more heavy rainfall for Delta. Districts above Puducherry to be in alert.
