Officials of the Meteorological Department said a cyclonic circulation over Sri Lanka and the adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal persisted and triggered intermittent rain in the State. Various weather stations received moderate rain, including Anna University (4 cm), Ennore port and Meenambakkam (3 cm) till 5.30 p.m. Many parts, particularly coastal and south Tamil Nadu, are set to get light to moderate rain. Chennai may continue to experience thunderstorms with light to moderate rainfall in some areas till Friday. We are collaborating with the Tamil Nadu State Disaster Management Authority for the early warning initiative.
