These weathermen later spoke about how the wind flow is towards the north in Bay of Bengal and this has reduced the possibility of Chennai city getting rains in the wake of cyclone.
To trigger rains in Chennai city it would take another low pressure in the Bay of Bengal with its course closer to the TN coast and it would take few more days. The Cyclone Titli that has made landfall needs to weaken. Except for some southern districts in TN other places did not record any rainfall on Thursday. Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu recorded 5cm rainfall and rest of the region received 1cm to 3cm rainfall. It was said by the officials that Cyclone Titli that was expected to weaken and cause rainfall in north Andhra Pradesh and Odisha was also part of south monsoon activity. To estimate when the northeast monsoon would set in the wind condition needs to be assessed. Now the meteorological department is waiting for the Cyclones Titli and Luban to weaken.
