Some parts of south Tamil Nadu and delta districts may experience light to moderate rain till February 12. However, coastal places such as Chennai are missing out as relatively warm weather has been prevailing this month.
The India Meteorological Department has forecast that thunderstorm with light to moderate rain may occur in one or two places in southern parts of the State and delta districts, including Tiruvarur and Thanjavur. Rainfall activity may cover some of the Western Ghats districts too on Saturday. Other parts of the State and Puducherry may mainly experience dry weather.
S. Balachandran, Deputy Director-General of Meteorology, Chennai, said easterly wind convergence triggered sporadic rainfall over the State. Southerly winds prevailing over the region kept the weather relatively warm this month and the night temperature was often close to or above normal this month, he said.
