Posted on: 27/Nov/2020 12:51:02 PM
With the cyclone Nivar having crossed the coast at a distance of 30 km northwards of Puducherry, it has weakened and is drifting towards the northwest. This would gradually transform into a low-pressure zone and then to a depression zone moving towards Karnataka.
At the same time, as the effect on the northeast monsoon rainy season, a new low-pressure zone is set to be formed over the South Bay of Bengal. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has estimated that this would move towards the southern districts of Tamil Nadu.
As per IMD, following the cyclone Nivar, there are prospects for mild to medium rains with thunder in a few places in Tamil Nadu, |Puducherry, and Karaikkal.
When the cyclone Nivar crossed the coast at a 30 km distance north of Puducherry, high-speed winds blew in the northern coastal districts. Subsequently, the cyclone lost intensity and drifted towards the northwest. In this situation, the cyclone weakened further and transformed into a low-pressure zone by night on Thursday, 26th November.
In this regard, an official from the Chennai |Regional |Meteorological |Centre shared:
“As at 8.30 AM on Thursday, 26th November morning, the cyclone Nivar was located at a distance of 85 km north/northwest of |Puducherry and at a distance of 95 km from Chennai in the west/southwest direction. The cyclone will drift towards the northwest, weaken further and transform into a depression zone and later into a low-pressure zone on Friday, 27th November (today).
Due to this, there are prospects for mild to medium rains with thunder in a few places in the northwest districts of Tamil |Nadu State, Puducherry and Karaikkal.
As regards the |Chennai |Metro City, the sky would remain generally cloudy. There are prospects for mild to medium rains with thunder in a few places in the city.”
Meanwhile, a new low-pressure zone is set to be formed over the South Bay of Bengal on 29th |November. This low-pressure zone is likely to intensify, drift towards the west and move towards south Tamil |Nadu.
