Another round of rain lurking round the corner for southern states

The well-marked low pressure area over north Tamil Nadu and its neighbourhood weakened into a low pressure area and lay over north interior Tamil Nadu and neighbourhood on Friday.

A trough runs from the cyclonic circulation associated with low pressure area over north interior Tamil Nadu to north coastal Odisha across coastal Andhra Pradesh and extends upto 0.9 km above mean sea level, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

Coastal Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka were battered by heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over the last four days due to a cyclonic storm that had turned into a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal.

After travelling from ocean to land, the system had weakened to settle as a low pressure area that will continue to bring in rains for these areas along with parts of Kerala.

Meanwhile, a cyclonic circulation lies over the Gulf of Thailand and its neighbourhood and extends up to 5.8 km above mean sea level, tilting south-westwards with height.
