The Bay of Bengal has been in energetic state due to the presence of a low-pressure area over South-East Bay of Bengal and adjoining Equatorial Indian Ocean.
The Met expected it to intensify one round to become a well-marked low-pressure area and rush in towards the South-East coast of Sri Lanka. After impacting the Lankan coast it would weaken, but a remnant is forecast to wheel towards the Gulf of Mannar and strike the adjoining coast of Tamil Nadu
Due to this there will be moderate to rather heavy rain likely to occur at many places over South Tamil Nadu (Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Kanyakumari, Madurai , Theni, Dindigul, Sivaganga and Virudhunagar districts). Light to moderate rain likely to occur at one or two places over North Tamil Nadu (Chennai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Cuddalore, Villupuram, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Pudukottai,Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem, Namakkal, Nilgiris, Tiruppur, Coimbatore, Erode, Karur, Tiruchirapalli, Ariyalur, Perambalur districts) and Puducherry.
