Chennai Meteorological Department has forecast showers today and tomorrow in 22 districts including Vellore, Ranipettai, Thiruvannamalai, Tirupattur, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Trichy will receive heavy to very heavy rains today.
Coimbatore: The southwest monsoon has receded and the north-east monsoon is expected to begin on the 26th, said Balachandran, head of the southern zone at the Chennai Meteorological Center.
The southwest monsoon started on June 3 this year and has spread across the country. Southwest monsoon intensifies in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka and north-eastern states. Heavy rains over the past two weeks have caused dams in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and the north-eastern districts, causing floods in many places. The southwest monsoon is expected to recede in the next 25 days.
In a statement, Balachandran, Southern Regional Chairman, Indian Meteorological Center, said that from the 26th onwards, the north-east monsoon will be favourable in the Bay of Bengal and South India. Thus, the south-west monsoon is likely to move away from Indian parts and the north-east monsoon is likely to start on the 26th. As of yesterday morning, the maximum rainfall in the state was 6 cm in Sholavandan, Sathankulam and Pennagaram areas. He said no warning has been given to fishermen.
