South Tamil Nadu to witness intense rainfall till November 12; RMC monitors fresh weather system over Bay

CHENNAI The shift in the movement of the weather system near the Comorin area is likely to keep intense rainfall largely confined to southern and delta districts until November 12. Meanwhile, the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) expects rainfall activity to pick up across Tamil Nadu from November 15, with a fresh weather system likely to develop over the Bay of Bengal. The upper air cyclonic circulation over Comorin area and neighbourhood continues to influence wet spell across the State.

However, a shift in its movement is likely to keep rainfall concentrated over coastal areas south of Cauvery delta region over the next few days, RMC officials said. According to the RMC, heavy rainfall is likely to occur at isolated places of Thoothukudi and Ramanathapuram on Tuesday. Various other delta and interior districts, including Thanjavur, Mayiladuthurai and Madurai, may receive moderate rainfall.

This pattern is expected to continue till November 12. The RMC expects an enhanced rainfall activity in the State after November 14.
