Easterly winds carrying moisture are likely to bring rains to districts such as Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Kanniyakumari and Madurai. The rains are likely to continue for a few more days.
The winds near the southern districts are stronger and hence are bringing more rain than in the northern districts. The Met centre has also announced that a fresh low pressure area is likely to develop over the north Andaman sea around Tuesday.
