Rain Action shifts to West Coast

Yesterday’s Deep Depression that lay over Vidarbha and adjoining areas has moved in a westerly direction in the last 24 hours and is now located over Vidarbha and adjoining areas of West MP.As it continues its westerly movement, heavy to very heavy rains are likely to occur over Konkan & Goa, Saurashtra and Kutch along with parts of Gujarat. The remnants of Vamco, a tropical storm with origins in the South China Sea, has anchored a low pressure system over areas adjoining Andaman Sea and East-Central Bay. This would cause heavy rains in the Andaman Islands. North coastal districts of TN and south AP can expect some Rain/Thundershowers.

Chennai will see a partly cloudy sky with the day time maximum staying close to 36 C. A chance of rain towards the late hours persists.

Coimbatore will stay partly cloudy and the maximum temperature will stay close to 32-33C

Madurai will continue with its heat index soaring to the high thirties inching closer to 40 C.

Vellore will experience a fairly clear sky with the day time high settling close to mid-thirties. Isolated rains can occur in some pockets

Trichy will stay hot and sunny with a maximum temperature close to 37 C
