The state of Tamil Nadu has been seeing good rains for the past few days. Rains had been heavy in a few pockets during this time.

Moreover, schools were closed on Thursday in the city of Salem while parts of Chennai, Kancheepuram along with Thiruvallur had schools closed on Friday due to heavy showers over the region.

The last 24 hours saw mostly moderate showers with a few heavy spells lashing some areas in the state of Tamil Nadu. The city of Chennai recorded moderate showers only.

In the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Kancheepuram saw 60 mm of rains, Coonoor witnessed 77 mm of rainfall, Neyveli observed 74 mm of rains, Ooty 40 mm, Kodaikanal 25 mm, Dharmapuri 29 mm, Chennai (Nungambakkam) 33 mm, Chennai (Minambakkam) 16 mm, and Parangipettai 33 mm.

Now, as per weathermen at Skymet Weather, rainfall activity is expected to continue over the city of Chennai and adjoining areas of Tamil Nadu. These rainfall activities will remain between moderate to heavy with the southern parts of the state recording more rainfall as compared to the northern areas.

These rains are attributed to the presence of a Cyclonic Circulation which is over Sri Lanka Coast and adjoining Tamil Nadu. Moreover, the well marked low pressure area over Southeast Arabian Sea has also been resulting in moisture feed over the Bay of Bengal system.

These rains will continue for some time however, there is nothing to panic as flooding rains are not at all expected over the state of Tamil Nadu this time.
