Chennai, Dec 27 || The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast largely dry weather conditions across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal over the next two days, attributing the change to variations in the easterly wind pattern prevailing over the region.
While widespread rainfall is not expected, the department has cautioned residents about early morning fog, slightly lower night temperatures in select areas, and strong surface winds along the coastal belt.
According to the IMD, light mist or fog may form during the early morning hours in isolated pockets across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal.
The Weather Department noted that there would be no significant change in minimum temperatures across most parts of the state.
However, in a few interior regions, particularly in higher elevations, night temperatures may remain 2 to 3 degrees Celsius below normal until Sunday.
Special attention has been drawn to the Nilgiris district and the Kodaikanal hill region in Dindigul district, where cold conditions are expected to persist.
