CHENNAI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall in isolated places across four southern districts of Tamil Nadu -- Tirunelveli, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, and Kanyakumari -- on Wednesday.
The department attributed the weather activity to a trough of low pressure persisting over the southeast Arabian Sea. According to the latest bulletin issued by the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, the presence of the atmospheric disturbance is expected to bring widespread showers over the southern coastal belt, particularly in the hilly regions of Tirunelveli district.
The IMD cautioned that certain areas in the Western Ghats region of Tirunelveli may experience intense spells accompanied by lightning and gusty winds during the evening hours.
