Chennai, July 16
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has forecast rainfall in eight districts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, offering some respite from the prevailing dry spell in many parts of the state.
According to weather updates, moderate rainfall is expected in four hilly and western districts -- Nilgiris, Theni, Tenkasi, and Tiruppur.
These regions, known for their undulating terrain and forested areas, are likely to receive intermittent spells of rain throughout the day.
The RMC has advised local authorities in these districts to remain alert to the possibility of sudden showers, especially in elevated regions where landslides and waterlogging could occur. In addition to the above, light to moderate showers have also been predicted in parts of Coimbatore, Virudhunagar, Kanniyakumari, and Tirunelveli. These districts, which often rely on monsoon rains for agricultural activities, may see isolated rainfall that could provide limited relief to farmers and help replenish groundwater in certain areas.
