Chennai And Bengaluru Rains: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday predicted light to moderate rainfall across most areas of Tamil Nadu and Karaikal, including Chennai and issued a yellow alert for Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, and nearby districts in Karnataka.
The weather bureau associated the extreme weather conditions with the low-pressure area over the Southeast Bay of Bengal, which intensified into a deep depression on December 12.
According to the latest weather update, light rain is likely over Chennai, Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts of Tamil Nadu on December 13.
Additionally, moderate rain is likely to occur at isolated places over Ranipet, Tiruvannamalai, Kallakurichi, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Tiruchirappalli, Karur, Dindigul, Tiruppur and Coimbatore districts of Tamilnadu, according to the IMD.
Bengaluru Rain: Yellow Alert Issued
After heavy rainfall on Thursday, which led to traffic jams and waterlogging, Bengaluru is bracing for another round of downpours on Friday, with IMD issuing a yellow alert in the city for December 13.
In Bengaluru, the minimum and maximum temperatures are projected to hover between 18 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius. The city recorded humidity levels of 86 per cent, higher than Wednesday’s levels. Winds blowing from the northeast at 16 km/h and an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 76 indicate moderate air quality.
The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) attributed the rainfall to a depression in the Bay of Bengal, warning of heavy rain and thunderstorms in some southern districts.
Since the landfall of Cyclone Fengal, Bengaluru has witnessed a dip in temperature and light to moderate showers, offering much-needed relief from the usual warm climate.
