Chances of rainfall over the State, particularly coastal areas may increase from Tuesday, according to the Meteorological Department.

N. Puviarasan, director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre, said there was a possibility of upper air circulation forming over the Bay of Bengal next week. It was expected to move westwards towards Tamil Nadu. The system and convective activity may synchronise to bring fairly widespread rainfall across the State from Tuesday or Wednesday. This would mean up to 75% of the weather stations may get light to moderate rains.

Chennai, the Nilgiris and Kanniyakumari are among the districts that have recorded over 20% above average rainfall this southwest monsoon. Tirunelveli and Theni which received 95% and 71% more rains than normal for the season topped the chart of districts with excess rainfall.
