As predicted by Skymet Weather, the south coastal districts received good rains in the last 24 hours. All thanks to the well-marked low-pressure area that was over Southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka coast. However, both the observatories in Chennai failed to record any rains in the past day.
In the span of 24 hours from 08:30 am as on Tuesday, Karaikal recorded moderate showers to the tune of 27 mm, Adirampattinam 15 mm, Thanjavur 12 mm, Tondi 2 mm, Kodaikanal 2 mm and Tuticorin recorded 1 mm of rains. On the other hand, the north coastal stations also including Chennai remained dry.

As of now also, good rains are anticipated to continue lashing the state, mostly the southern coastal stations of Tamil Nadu. As per Skymet Weather, this well-marked low-pressure area has now intensified into a Depression and lies over Southwest Bay of Bengal off Sri Lanka coast. This system is likely to move in a west-northwest direction and may intensify into a Deep Depression in the next 24 hours. Thus, Tamil Nadu can brace for some moderate to heavy rains for the next 24 hours.
