Chennai, Jan 26 || The weather department has forecast moderate rainfall across parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Monday and Tuesday, driven by easterly winds blowing from the Comorin Sea region towards the northern Kerala coast.
According to the forecast, changing wind patterns are expected to bring intermittent showers to interior and coastal areas, offering brief relief from prevailing dry conditions.
On Tuesday, isolated spells of moderate rain are likely in the interior districts of Tamil Nadu, while one or two places along the coastal belt may also receive showers.
Weather officials said the influence of easterly winds is creating favourable conditions for cloud formation, particularly during the late afternoon and evening. Rainfall activity is expected to increase on Wednesday, with widespread moderate rain predicted across Tamil Nadu.
Puducherry is also likely to experience similar conditions during this period. However, from January 28 to January 31, the state is expected to witness a return to largely dry weather, as wind patterns weaken and moisture availability reduces.
The forecast further notes a drop in minimum temperatures beginning Wednesday.
