Chennai, March 11 || The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) forecast heavy rainfall across multiple districts of Tamil Nadu on Tuesday.
According to the RMC, Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, and Thoothukudi are expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall today.
Additionally, districts such as Virudhunagar, Sivaganga, Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, and Ramanathapuram are also likely to experience significant rainfall.
In response to the forecast, district officials have urged residents to remain cautious.
A warning has also been issued for fishermen in Kanyakumari, advising them to avoid venturing into the sea.
The maximum temperature in Tamil Nadu is expected to range between 32 degree Celsius and 33 degree Celsius.
The current weather conditions are influenced by an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the northeast Equatorial Indian Ocean and the adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal, extending up to 5.8 km above mean sea level.
Another circulation over interior Tamil Nadu and its neighbouring areas, which was at 0.9 km, has weakened.
However, these weather systems are expected to trigger rainfall across the state over the next few days.
