The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather warning for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, forecasting light to moderate rain and thunderstorms over the next three days, starting from December 24. This weather is attributed to a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to cause significant weather changes in the region.
As of December 23, the deep depression was located approximately 500 km east of Chennai and is moving southwestward. It is expected to weaken as it shifts southward and make landfall near Tamil Nadu’s Delta districts on December 26. The system will then continue its movement across the state towards the Arabian Sea.
Chennai, Puducherry, and Karaikal are likely to experience light to moderate rain with thunderstorms. The IMD predicts moderate rainfall in Chennai and surrounding areas on December 24 and 25, along with light fog in the early morning hours. Tamil Nadu is expected to experience widespread rain on December 26 and 27 as the system continues to affect the region.
