A Low Pressure Area is persisting over southern parts of Tamil Nadu and its associated cyclonic circulation is also extending up to an altitude of 3.1 km above sea level. Due to its effect, very strong winds are coming from the north-east direction towards the coast of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, due to which the rains can become very heavy.
Coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh may also see moderate to heavy rains at many places for the next 2 or 3 days. During the next 2 or 3 days, there is a possibility of gusty wind and high seas along the coast of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea for the next two-three days.
