Tamil Nadu may largely get a break from heavy rain for almost a week starting Sunday. However, scattered rain in parts of the State may continue, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai.
The RMC has forecast that a cyclonic circulation over southeast Arabian sea is likely to develop into a low-pressure area by Sunday. It will have an impact over districts along the Western Ghats and south Tamil Nadu. The rainfall will reduce till December 15, and the State may experience relatively dry weather conditions.
P. Senthamarai Kannan, Director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre, Chennai, said rain would reduce once the weather system moved westwards within two days. However, some parts may receive light to moderate rain due to convergence of southwesterlies and seasonal easterlies during the next few days.
