The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate rainfall in some districts along the western ghats on Monday, due to the influence of multiple low-pressure systems over nearby sea regions.

According to the news agency IANS, officials said a low-level cyclonic circulation is currently active over the southeast Arabian Sea and adjoining areas of the Lakshadweep and Kerala coasts.

Another low-level cyclonic circulation has also formed over the Comorin Sea and surrounding regions.

These systems are expected to impact weather patterns across parts of southern India, bringing moderate rainfall to the Western Ghats districts.

As per IANS, weather experts have advised residents in these regions to remain cautious, particularly in hilly and landslide-prone areas, as intermittent rain could affect daily activities and travel.

The IMD has also issued a fog advisory for several interior districts.

From Monday until the 5th of this month, moderate fog conditions are expected during the early morning hours in Krishnagiri, Tirupattur, Vellore, Ranipet, Nilgiris, and Dindigul districts.

Visibility may be reduced in these areas, and motorists have been advised to drive with caution, especially during the early hours of the day.

Meanwhile, Chennai is expected to experience relatively stable weather conditions. The sky over the city is likely to remain partly cloudy throughout the day, reported IANS.

The minimum temperature in the Tamil Nadu capital is forecast to hover around 23 degrees Celsius, providing relatively pleasant conditions compared to the cooler and wetter interior regions.

Weather officials stated that while no extreme weather warnings have been issued at present, the evolving nature of the low-pressure systems will be closely monitored, reported IANS.

Any significant changes in rainfall intensity or wind patterns will be communicated promptly through official advisories.

Residents across affected districts are advised to stay updated with the latest weather bulletins and follow instructions issued by local authorities.

Fishermen along the Kerala and Lakshadweep coasts have also been urged to remain alert, as sea conditions may vary due to the prevailing cyclonic circulations.

The current weather pattern highlights the seasonal transition phase, during which fluctuations in rainfall, fog, and temperature are commonly observed across southern India.
