The national capital is likely to receive light rainfall today. Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are also likely to witness a wet and windy start to March.
New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted widespread rainfall in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in the coming days. The Meteorological (MeT) department on Sunday said that a cyclonic circulation prevails over the Strait of Malacca and adjoining south Andaman Sea, which will intensify over the region in the coming days.
Due to this, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are likely to witness a wet and windy start to March.
“This system will move west-northwestwards and under its influence, a low-pressure system is likely to form during the next 48 hours. This low-pressure system will cause fairly widespread light to moderate intensity rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning with gusting winds over Andaman and Nicobar islands, south Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Mahe during March 2 and 3,” the IMD’s latest forecast said.
The Tamil Nadu Regional Centre of the IMD has predicted widespread rains across the state this week. Heavy rains are also expected in some parts of the state on Friday and Saturday.
The probability of rains is due to the low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal that is likely to bring rains to the state.
