Weather watchers in Tamil Nadu take note: A low-pressure area may emerge over the south Bay of Bengal and nearby Indian Ocean around February 16, courtesy of an upper cyclonic circulation in the southeast Bay and equatorial zones, per Chennai RMC insights.
The ripple effects could touch Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, with dry weather dominating February 15-18. Light, isolated rains might tease one or two areas on February 19 and 20, though nothing extensive is foreseen.
Variables like system movement could alter local forecasts, prompting close surveillance of Bay developments. Fisherfolk and seaside communities, stay alert to real-time predictions.
Fog adds another layer, with moderate levels projected for northern parts. Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram, and Chengalpattu districts gear up for February 15 mist, which may extend to Villupuram and Cuddalore on the 16th.
Dawn hours pose the biggest risk, with reduced sightlines potentially clogging roads and expressways. Advice for drivers: Proceed slowly, signal early, and prioritize safety amid the shroud.
As conditions unfold, expect sequential advisories from meteorologists. By following official guidance, locals can adeptly handle fog’s veil and the whisper of incoming showers.
