Tamil Nadu is heading for a dry weather as northeast monsoon enters its final phase.
The India Meteorological Department has predicted dry weather to prevail throughout the State, except for isolated light rain next week. Though there may be spill over of the monsoon in January, the department considers December 31 as the end of the northeast monsoon.
Tamil Nadu has recorded 44.4 cm of rainfall, which is 1% more than its seasonal average for northeast monsoon. Erode is among the few districts that have received heavy downpour, exceeding normal rainfall by 58%. Eight districts, including Tiruvarur, Thoothukudi and Ariyalur, have fallen short of their monsoon quota of rainfall by a minimum of 20%.
Most other districts received their normal rainfall. These include Chengalpattu, Chennai, Madurai and Ranipet. (IMD considers a deviation of 19% both on positive and negative side as normal). The IMD is likely to wait for a couple of no-rain days to declare the withdrawal of the northeast monsoon.
