The IMD has issued a forecast for light to moderate rains battering southern and coastal Tamil Nadu, courtesy of a brewing low-pressure area in the equatorial Indian Ocean and southwest Bay of Bengal. This disturbance may intensify northwestward.
Come Friday, drizzles are likely in the south and along the coast, extending to Puducherry and Karaikal. Parts of Tamil Nadu could see thunder-laced moderate rains on Friday and Sunday, with light precipitation lingering at isolated spots on February 23-24.
Northern Tamil Nadu faces two days of morning haze, cutting visibility. Chennai expects partial cloud cover and morning mist in spots.
Vigilance is key as strong winds churn up hazardous seas in the southwest Bay of Bengal and beyond—fishermen, orders are clear: no sea voyages.
Coastal dwellers are urged to follow official updates religiously and steer clear of thunder-prone situations. Surveillance continues, promising prompt notifications.
With showers forecasted intermittently, plan wisely: cautious travel and weather awareness will navigate this spell smoothly.
