The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is keeping a close eye on a low pressure area near the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts.
A low-pressure area had developed over the South-West and adjoining South-East Bay of Bengal on Saturday two days earlier than the IMD had predicted. It has become well-marked and is expected to concentrate into a depression over South-West Bay by Monday and intensify further into a cyclone by Tuesday.
The IMD said that the cyclone is likely to move north-westwards and cross the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram on Wednesday noon/afternoon. In this manner, the twin cyclones have catapulted the North-East monsoon to peak form.
