RECENT WEATHER PATTERN AND CYCLONE IMPACT

The recent spell of cold across Tamil Nadu followed prolonged rainfall caused by a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal, which intensified into Cyclone Titva. Although the cyclone caused severe destruction in Sri Lanka, its impact on Tamil Nadu was limited to widespread rainfall without major damage. After nearly ten days of rain across northern, Delta and southern districts, the system weakened, leading to reduced rainfall and the onset of colder conditions across the state.
