Chennai @ 7am - 4
Dec: Good morning Chennai! As I post this few areas in Chennai might be
experiencing some rain already. This will be patchy and not widespread. There
might be some heavy rains but not bad ones.
Came
across this - "The low will cause
the most numerous and heaviest rainfall to be focused across the eastern coast
of Tamil Nadu to far southern Kerala into Saturday. While the highest rainfall
totals during this time will likely be recorded south of Chennai, the city
faces additional rainfall and flooding downpours. The low will move away after
Saturday, but tropical moisture will keep streaming inland and lead to more
drenching showers and thunderstorms". Continuing surges of
moisture from the Bay of Bengal will fuel scattered to widespread rainfall into
next week. However, later next week, the frequency of downpours will lessen
around Chennai as a storm system shifts the focus of heavy rain and potential
flooding to northern and central India, according to AccuWeather Senior
Meteorologist Jason Nicholls. "After that, the heavy rain threat should be
over for this winter around Chennai," said Nicholls. Drier weather is
expected to finally return to far southern India before the end of the month,
and this will likely continue into January as southern India enters the dry
season."
So there will be few more days/ weeks of wet weather
in TN. Do prepare for Dec 6th and 7th (Sunday and Monday) - some heavy showers may come across Chennai - Will confirm this as we progress through the days.
Well for today, 4 Dec:
a)Very Heavy rainfall regions alert: Cuddalore,
Puducherry, Nagapattinam and Delta districts
b)Heavy rainfall regions alert: Chennai, Kanchipuram,
Tiruvallur
My only fear remains, hope these showers in catchment
area does not flood the Chennai city any more.
Stay safe! Hope you get some sun light! Will keep you
updated later in the day.
