IMD Forecasts Normal Northeast Monsoon for Tamil Nadu with Regional Variations
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a likely normal Northeast monsoon for Tamil Nadu this year, following a deficit in the Southwest monsoon. While southern and coastal regions may receive normal to above-normal rainfall, northern interior districts are expected to get below-normal rainfall. The monsoon onset is anticipated from the third week of October. Strong El Niño conditions may persist, influencing rainfall patterns, while temperatures in October could be above normal. The Regional Meteorological Centre also predicts wet spells over the Western Ghats and interior areas.
