Title: New Low Pressure Area Forms in Bay of Bengal, Northeast Monsoon Expected to Begin in Tamil Nadu
Date: [Current Date]
Chennai, Tamil Nadu – As the Northeast Monsoon season is set to begin in Tamil Nadu, a new low pressure area has formed in the Bay of Bengal, raising anticipation for much-needed rainfall in the region. According to the Meteorological Department, this low pressure area has the potential to intensify into a depression on the 23rd of this month.
In a press release issued by the Director of the Chennai Meteorological Research Centre, P. Senthamaraikannan, it was revealed that a deep depression over the Arabian Sea has now strengthened into a depression. There are chances that it may further intensify into a storm and potentially become a severe storm by the evening of the 22nd, tomorrow. The storm is expected to move towards coastal areas of southern Oman on the 24th.
Simultaneously, due to the upper atmospheric circulation over the Southeast Bay of Bengal, a low pressure area has also formed over the Southwest and Southeast parts of the Bay of Bengal. This low pressure area is likely to strengthen over central West Bengal on the 23rd of this month.
Furthermore, the prevailing upper atmospheric circulation over the Kumari Sea and its adjoining areas is expected to bring easterly and north-easterly winds to the southern parts of India. Consequently, the Northeast Monsoon is predicted to commence in South India within the next two days.
As a result of these weather developments, coastal districts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry may experience light to moderate rain at a few places today, with a couple of interior districts also witnessing rainfall. However, the intensity of rainfall is expected to increase from tomorrow until the 24th, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
This news brings hope to the region, which has been grappling with a water shortage and agricultural distress due to scanty rainfall over the past few months. The onset of the Northeast Monsoon is crucial for replenishing water reserves and ensuring favorable conditions for farming activities.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions as the low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal continues to develop.
