Low-pressure area over Bay of Bengal likely to ease Tamil Nadu rain deficit

The Regional Meteorological Centre has forecasted a new weather system forming over the southeast Bay of Bengal by Friday.

Currently, several regions including Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, and Thanjavur are facing a <b>rainfall deficit</b> during the ongoing Northeast monsoon. While southern districts expect moderate rain until November 15, the weather activity is projected to shift toward northern parts of the state next week. Officials are monitoring an upper air cyclonic circulation over the south Andaman Sea to track the system's path The exact impact zone and intensity will become clearer once the system gains strength.
