Heavy RF over WNW part of Tamilnadu



The upper air profiles of some 35 stations were analysed by one of our experts. It has indicated a wind convergence zone near WNW part of Tamilnadu. It is evident from the realised rainfall too.
Now also it indicated cyclonic like circulation perhaps with centre like region over those part. [22042011/2045 hrs IST].
There may be heavy wind and very heavy rainfall in those regions[Salem, Dharmapuri, Namakkal,Krishnagiri etc] .
