A low-pressure area formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal on Monday is predicted to bring these rains, especially affecting coastal districts. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the weather department explained that the low-pressure system has developed due to cyclonic circulation over the southwest Bay of Bengal.
This cyclonic circulation extends up to 5.8 km above mean sea level and is tilting southwestward, likely moving toward the Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka coasts over the next two days.
