It is well known that Chennai and its suburbs have already 37% rainfall so far in the NE monsoon season. It is now brought out that Chennai would get more rains today, Saturday and this would be from the rain bands of the system from Ramanathapuram.
The system had weakened into depression on Friday and as per the weathermen it was clear that there would be rains in northern and western districts of TN and it would be due to the convective cloud bands scattered over TN. It must be noted that after Cyclone Burevi weakened the convective cloud bands got scattered in TN.
Over Chennai and its suburbs, in the next 2 days, scattered cloud bands from the system would bring moderate rains with thunderstorms and occasional heavy rains. It is known that Cyclone Burevi weakened into deep depression on Friday evening and it further weakened into a depression at 5:30 pm and this happened when the cyclone was staying 40km southwest of Ramanathapuram the whole of Friday.
By the evening of Saturday, the system is likely to weaken further and move to south Kerala. This was brought out by some official of IMD. He added that the cloud bands would bring heavy rains in Chennai on Saturday also.
As per Mr. N. Puviarasan, director of Area Cyclone Warning Centre, Chennai, the system had remained stationary near Ramanathapuram for several hours as it got weakened. There were no strong winds to move the system and 2 anticyclones nearby also stalled the system.
