Strong north-easterlies coupled with the Cyclonic Circulation over South Tamil Nadu gave the rains in the region. So it was The spell of weather from December 29 to January 6 sustained for a long period.
These systems are now on the verge of weakening since the last two days and as a result, the rain intensity has gone down significantly in the last 48 hours.
According to Skymet’s meteorologists, the Cyclonic Circulation over South Tamil Nadu would soon dissipate and north-easterlies are further likely to lose their strength. Thus, in the absence of any strong system, dry weather conditions are expected to take over most parts of the southern peninsula soon.
