Chennai:24.04.2019
For a city embraced by cool breeze and cloudy skies over the last two days, there was more good news in store on Tuesday. Weathermen had forecast that a low pressure area, which is expected to develop over Bay of Bengal, is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by the end of the month.
According to regional meteorological centre, Chennai, “A low pressure area is very likely to develop over Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal to the southeast of Sri Lanka around April 25. It is very likely to intensify into a depression by 27th April. It is very likely to move northwestwards towards TN coast across east coast of Sri Lanka and is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by April 29.”
While southern and interior districts of the state and neighbouring districts of Chennai are already receiving pre-monsoon showers, the rain and the sea breeze have had a salutary effect on the city’s weather with temperature dropping from 35°C to 33.8°C. “The sky is likely to be partly cloudy. Maximum and Minimum temperatures are likely to be around 36°C and 28°Celsius respectively,” says a forecast for Wednesday and Thursday for Chennai.

Storm doesn’t seem to be intense, says Skymet
However, Skymet weather says the weather system, which is likely to develop over Bay of Bengal, may not have any effect on north coastal Tamil Nadu including Chennai.
“On April 29 and 30, it will move over the central and adjoining northeast Bay of Bengal. While on May 1, it would be close to the proximity of Bangladesh and Myanmar near the Arakan coast, the system would be moving in favourable weather conditions as Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) would be around 29°C that are conducive for the formation of cyclonic storms.”
“Despite of all these favourable factors, this storm, the very first one of this season doesn’t seem intense in nature. When the monsoon current is strong/aggressive/active, it tends to suppress the cyclonic storm,” Skymet said in a post on its website.
On Monday, several districts, including Vellore, Dharmapuri, Salem,
Nilgiris and Kanyakumari recorded rainfall while Chennai city saw some traces.
IMD has forecast light to moderate rain at isolated places over Tamil Nadu until April 27. Thunderstorm with gusty winds (45-50kmph) and lightning is likely to occur at isolated places over Tamil Nadu on Tuesday.
