Chennai: A fourth low-pressure system is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal around Nov 13 and intensify into a depression within 48 hours. However, whether it will bring heavy northeast monsoon rain to Chennai and neighbouring districts remains uncertain. A largely dry weather may prevail in the city and the suburbs for the next few days.
If it follows this track, Chennai may miss the system’s main rain-bearing region. “The areas that may receive rainfall depends on where the system forms and the track it follows. The new low pressure is likely to form over southeast Bay of Bengal where cyclone Murasu originated.
Meteorologists said some weather models, based on conditions on Wednesday, indicate that the system could intensify into a cyclone and follow a track similar to severe cyclonic storm Murasu, which made landfall near Ongole in Andhra Pradesh .
So it may take the same track, and that’s why we have not issued heavy rainfall forecast for Chennai for Nov 18-19. Partly cloudy skies may keep temperatures between 24-25°C and 31-32°C.
However, it is too early to say as the system is yet to form,” he said. Warm sea-surface temperatures can provide a developing weather system with heat and moisture, helping it gain strength. However, its eventual intensity and track will also depend on atmospheric conditions, including wind patterns around the system. For the next few days, Chennai and neighbouring districts are likely to experience largely dry weather.
