Last year the North East Monsoon rains were above normal in Tamil Nadu. In a single day 50 cms rainfall was recorded in Chennai and its suburbs. Because of this the whole Chennai was flooded.
At this juncture the Indian Meteorological Centre has mentioned that the northeast monsoon is likely to be normal over Tamil Nadu.
Normally, the monsoon sets in around October 20 over the State.
Northeast monsoon is crucial for the State as it receives 48 per cent of its annual rainfall during this season - between October and December.
