Chennai, Oct 30
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, has forecast that Tamil Nadu is unlikely to receive any heavy rainfall for the next week, even as the city of Chennai is expected to experience clear skies and relatively high temperatures.
According to the latest bulletin from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclonic storm 'Montha' that had been active over the central Bay of Bengal has now weakened into a deep depression.
Following its landfall, the system has continued to lose intensity as it moves inland, reducing the possibility of widespread rainfall over Tamil Nadu. In its short-term outlook, the weather office has indicated that light to moderate rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, is likely in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu over the next two days.
