Heavy rain, thunderstorms likely in seven TN districts
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 9 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has forecast heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds in seven districts of Tamil Nadu on Monday, as atmospheric disturbances continue to influence weather conditions across the state. According to the weather department, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram districts are likely to experience heavy rainfall at isolated places. Similar weather conditions have also been forecast for the Karaikal region of Puducherry. The department attributed the prevailing weather conditions to an atmospheric circulation over the Comorin Sea and adjoining areas, along with a trough extending from southern Tamil Nadu to the east-central Arabian Sea. These weather systems are expected to trigger widespread atmospheric instability, resulting in thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across several parts of the state. The meteorological centre has also forecast thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds and rainfall at isolated places in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Virudhunagar, Dindigul, Madurai, Theni, Thoothukudi, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts. Other parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are likely to receive light rainfall at a few places, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Meanwhile, Chennai and its surrounding areas are expected to experience generally cloudy skies throughout the day, with light rain or thundershowers likely at isolated locations. The latest forecast follows significant rainfall recorded across Chennai and several other parts of Tamil Nadu during the previous 24 hours. According to rainfall data released by the weather department, Parimunai and Maduravoyal in Chennai recorded the highest rainfall of 9 cm during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Sunday. Nungambakkam and Tondiarpet in Chennai, along with Kayalpattinam in Thoothukudi district, recorded approximately 8 cm of rainfall during the same period. The continuing spell of rainfall has brought several districts under the influence of unstable weather conditions, with the possibility of further showers in coastal and southern regions. The weather departments forecast indicates that rainfall activity could remain concentrated in the Cauvery delta districts and adjoining coastal areas, while intermittent thunderstorms are expected elsewhere. Residents, particularly those in districts facing heavy rainfall, have been advised to remain cautious during thunderstorms and strong winds.
The political row over book purchases for Coimbatore's Periyar Arivalayam escalated on Monday with DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan alleging that the BJP had elected Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay through unlawful means, as he dismissed corruption allegations against the DMK. Speaking to ANI, Elangovan claimed Vijay came to power y EVM fraud and SIR, not by popular votes, alleging that the BJP had asked the TVK government to attack the DMK, and that the TVK was doing so sincerely to protect Vijay from the BJP. After this government came to power, they wanted to mint money. So what they did was, in Periyar Arivulagam, they purchased books at a higher cost, and they wanted to accuse the DMK of that. DMK will not do that. DMK is known for having very good libraries in Tamil Nadu... The BJP had asked them to attack the DMK; that's all. And they are doing it sincerely. Otherwise, they will get caught. They want to protect Vijay from BJP's hands. Because the BJP has elected...

Heavy rain forecast in 7 TN districts; weather office warns of strong winds
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 8 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has forecast heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds in seven districts of Tamil Nadu on Sunday, as an atmospheric circulation over the southeastern Arabian Sea and adjoining Kerala coast continues to influence weather conditions across the state. According to the weather department, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, and Thoothukudi districts are likely to experience heavy rainfall during the day. The prevailing atmospheric system is expected to bring widespread rainfall across several parts of Tamil Nadu, particularly the Cauvery delta and southern coastal districts. Moderate rainfall has also been forecast for Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, Kallakurichi, Tiruchirappalli, Ariyalur and Perambalur districts. Similarly, Sivaganga, Erode, Tiruppur, Dindigul and Madurai districts are expected to receive moderate showers. The weather department has also predicted moderate rainfall in Virudhunagar, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts. Other parts of Tamil Nadu may experience isolated light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. The weather system is expected to remain active on Monday, with heavy rainfall forecast for seven districts, including Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram. Moderate rainfall is also expected on Monday in the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Virudhunagar, Dindigul, Madurai, Theni and Thoothukudi districts. The forecast indicates that the Cauvery delta region could experience two consecutive days of significant rainfall, with agricultural areas likely to be particularly affected. The continuing rainfall is significant for the delta districts, where extensive paddy cultivation depends on seasonal water availability. While adequate rainfall could benefit agricultural operations, prolonged heavy showers may create difficulties in low-lying agricultural fields. The weather conditions could also affect normal movement in coastal and interior districts if intense rainfall occurs within a short period. The atmospheric circulation over the Arabian Sea and adjoining Kerala coast remains the principal weather feature influencing the present rainfall pattern. The latest forecast suggests that rainfall activity will extend across northern, central and southern Tamil Nadu, although its intensity is expected to vary considerably between districts. The weather departments outlook indicates that the heaviest showers will remain concentrated in the delta and southern districts over the next two days.

According to the weather department, a trough extending from the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining Kerala region towards south interior Karnataka is influencing weather conditions across Tamil Nadu, bringing widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds.

Heavy rainfall is likely at isolated places in eight districts Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari.
