It seems that like the beginning, November would end also with a cyclone. A weather system has been brewing in Southeast Bay of Bengal for the last 48 hours, which has now intensified into a cyclone.
It is presently centered at 7.8°N and 85.7°E, about 820 km in east-southeast of Chennai, 770 km east-southeast of Puducherry and 490 km east-southeast of Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.
According to cloud configuration, the deep depression has gained more strength and intensified into Cyclone 'Nada'.

At present, the cyclone is moving in west-northwest direction towards the Tamil Nadu coast. Weathermen predict that the system is most likely to cross the coast somewhere between Vedaranniyam and Chennai by the early morning hours of December 2.
In wake of the approaching system, we can expect fairly widespread rain and thundershowers over the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu including Chennai. Sky has already become cloudy and we can expect light rain to commence by Wednesday evening.
Sea conditions have also become rough off and along the coast and fishermen are advised not to venture out in the sea from the evening of November 30.
