A low-pressure format has developed in the lower stratum of the atmosphere over the region from North Tamil Nadu to South Tamil Nadu.

Due to this depression formed as above and the convective rain phenomenon, there are prospects of mild to medium rain in the next 3 days in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

There are prospects of heavy rain in the districts of Vellore, Kanchipuram, Thiruvallur, and Thiruvannamalai and also in the mountainous the region adjacent to Nilgiri, Coimbatore, Theni, and Dindigul.

There are prospects of rain with thunder in the evening and night session in Chennai Metro City and its suburbs.

During the last 24 hours, a maximum of 10 cm of rainfall has been recorded in Thamaraippakkam and rainfall of 8 cm has been recorded in Porur.

As regards the southwest monsoon rainy season, the rainfall recorded from 1st June till today (Tuesday, 16th July) is 6 cm. However, as per the expected normal/average rainfall, a rainfall of 9 cm should have been recorded. Thus, it is 31% short!

As the southwest monsoon rainy season has drifted towards the north, there have been heavy rains there. However, the rains in South have been mainly due to convective rain phenomenon.
