IMD predicts moderate rain with thunder at a few spots, signaling an active monsoon-like phase despite the season.

Complementing this is a broader circulation from southwest Bengal Bay to Comorin Sea, while a separate system brews off northern Tamil Nadu coasts. These combined forces will deliver moderate showers to Ghats-adjacent areas and south Tamil Nadu, possibly with intense bursts in hills.

Looking ahead, Delta districts face light-to-moderate rain on Wednesday, extending to Thursday across Delta and southern parts. This prolonged activity underscores the dynamic nature of regional weather systems.

On the temperature front, expect highs 2°C above normal statewide on Tuesday. A welcome dip follows from Wednesday through Friday, aligning closer to or below averages.

Safety remains paramount. IMD alerts residents in vulnerable areas to brace for gusty winds and lightning. Coastal communities, agriculture sectors, and laborers outdoors should monitor updates and plan accordingly to mitigate risks from this cyclonic influence.
