A brewing low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal promises subtle weather changes for Tamil Nadu next week, according to Chennai’s RMC. An upper-level cyclonic circulation is active over the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean and nearby southeast Bay waters, poised to develop into a low-pressure area by mid-February.
This disturbance is set to impact Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal regions. Expect mostly dry weather through February 18, with a chance of scattered light rain at isolated locations on the 19th and 20th. No major downpours are anticipated, though local variations remain possible depending on the system’s trajectory.
Authorities are monitoring the situation intently and advising fishermen and coastal dwellers to check forecasts regularly. Meanwhile, fog alerts dominate northern Tamil Nadu.
Moderate fog could blanket Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram, and Chengalpattu on February 15, extending to Villupuram and Cuddalore the following day. Early morning visibility drops may snarl traffic on major roads and city outskirts.
Motorists, take note: Slow down, use headlights, and keep extra space between vehicles to navigate safely through the mist. As the low-pressure area evolves, further bulletins will provide clarity.
Stay informed via official sources to adapt to any unexpected twists in the weather narrative, prioritizing preparedness in these fluid conditions.
