IMD Issues Cyclone Warning: Rains Expected in Tamil Nadu

The Indian Meteorological Department released a press release predicting the cyclonic winds travel in the Bay of Bengal. A low-pressure area has developed over the Central West and Northwest Bay of Bengal, influenced by atmospheric circulation from North Andhra Pradesh Rains and the adjoining coastal areas.

The low pressure formed in the Bay of Bengal has resulted in rain in certain parts of Tamil Nadu, with dry conditions expected to continue in Puducherry and Karaikal.

The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has forecasted that light to moderate rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, may occur at isolated locations across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal.
