Heavy rains are expected in the Nilgiris, the Ghat regions of Coimbatore, and the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, which include Theni, Tenkasi, Kanniyakumari, and Tirunelveli, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC).

Because of the orographic effect, which increases precipitation, these areas have seen a lot of rain during the previous week.

However, the southwest monsoon is anticipated to take a major break beginning June 1 after a protracted and persistent rainy season that delivered tremendous and exceptional rainfall to areas of Tamil Nadu, especially in the Nilgiris and the Western Ghats.

This break in monsoon activity is expected to extend for at least ten days, according to the RMC.

The change in weather is ascribed to the weather system’s deterioration over the Bay of Bengal, which has considerably decreased the state’s rainfall intensity.

Forecasters predict that much of Tamil Nadu will see drier weather in the days ahead as the cyclone loses steam.

Chinnakalar in the Coimbatore district had the most rainfall during the last 24 hours, with 13 cm. Nalumukku and Oothu in the Tirunelveli district and Valparai in Coimbatore each received 12 cm.

Rainfall was more moderate in the state’s northern regions.

Up to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Tiruttani reported 23 mm of rain. Chennai too had considerable rains, with Meenambakkam getting 19.5 mm and Nungambakkam receiving 25 mm.

In many arid areas, the recent rainfall has provided much-needed relief, restoring water supplies and improving agricultural opportunities.

However, because to the danger of landslides and waterlogging, officials have cautioned people to exercise care in the steep regions.

Weather experts advise the public to take advantage of the monsoon’s anticipated more than week-long lull to be ready for the next active phase, which is anticipated to start in mid-June.
