Now it is the turn of Northern Tamil Nadu to gain its share in collisions. The Regional Meteorological Center (RMC) predicts relatively widespread precipitation in the northern districts, which will probably be very intense in some parts on Friday.
The upper cyclonic circulation with the upper air persisted over the Bay of the Southwest Gulf outside the northern Tamil Nadu will start downpours with very severe intensity in one or two places in Tiruvannamalai, Vellore and Tirupattur. Nine other districts, including Kallakurichi, Cuddalore, Chengalpath and Kancheepuram, would also be on Friday on the way of heavy rainfall.
The collisions that were active in Delta and Western Ghats a few days ago would cover North Tamil Nadu this week. Strong precipitation will continue districts like Dharmapuri, Vellore, Krishnagiri, Tirupattur and Tiruvannamei on Saturday, officials said officials
P. Sentamarai Kannan, Director, Area Cyclone Warning Center, said the meteorological system over northern Tamil Nadu and neighboring areas would also bring thunderstorms over Chennai on Friday. For two days, a slight decrease at daily temperature may occur.
While Chennai recorded almost normal 34.5 degrees Celsius, places like Madurai and Palayamkottai experienced hot heat on Thursday. Madurai airport spilled at 40 degrees Celsius, which was the hottest temperature registered in the state for this day.
During the last 24 hours ending at 8:30 on Thursday, Wallajah recorded the most difficult precipitation of 13 cm per day in the RaniPet district. On Thursday to 6 pm, slight precipitation continued in some places such as Vellore, Coimbatore and Tirupattur
It is expected that the wet charm, which is expected to persist to 13 August, will reduce rain deficit in the northern districts like Krishnagiri, Kancheepuram and Dharmapuri. So far, the state has received monsoon rainfall of 14.5 cm, which is 7% higher than its seasonal diameter from 1 June. RMC considered it normal seasonal precipitation. Tiruneveli, Coimbatore, Tenkasi and Mayiladuthurai are among the few districts that have so far received excessive precipitation this season.
