The Northeast Monsoon picked up again for the past few days. However, now rains have remained confined to Tamil Nadu and Kerala. As far as Tamil Nadu is concerned, intense showers were seen over coastal Tamil Nadu right from Chennai across Puducherry, Cuddalore etc.
These rains have been seen in association with a Cyclonic Circulation which is over the Southwest Bay of Bengal. Now, the system is becoming less marked. The system is in proximity to the coastline but also is keeping a safe distance from the coastline.
Now, we expect short spells of rain over these areas today. Rains from tomorrow are expected to start reducing in these areas.
