Cyclone Mahasen to bring rain
Chennai: With a well-marked low pressure system formed roughly 1,200 km off Chennai coast, the predicted Cyclone Mahasen is expected to bring rainfall to Tamil Nadu next week.
“After the presence of upper air circulation over the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday, we are able to see a well-marked low pressure area in the southeast Bay on Wednesday,” said Dr Y.E.A. Raj, deputy director general of meteorology, Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai.
According to IMD website, the low pressure is expected to turn into a depression, a deep depression and later into a cyclone and further intensify into a super cyclone and make landfall near Orissa by May 16.

With a well-marked low pressure system formed roughly 1,200 km off Chennai coast, the predicted Cyclone Mahasen is expected to bring more rainfall to Tamil Nadu next week.
“After the presence of upper air circulation over the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday, we are able to see a well-marked low pressure area in the southeast Bay on Wednesday,” said Dr Y.E.A. Raj, deputy director general of meteorology, Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai.
According to Meteorological Department website, the low pressure is expected to turn into a depression, a deep depression and later into a cyclone and further intensify into a super cyclone and make landfall near Orissa by May 16. However, astro meteorologist S. Ramachandran said the cyclone would lose its projected strength and instead make landfall near TN or Andhra Pradesh coast by May 15.
“The planetary positions clearly show that the influence of one of the planets on the Sun will reduce after May 15. So we should get good rainfall on May 15. The predicted cyclone might lose its steam and make landfall near Andhra Pradesh coast,” said Ramachandran, who added that unlike Cyclone Thane, which was more wind- based system, the expected cyclone ‘Mahasen’ would bring more rains to TN and more wind to Andhra Pradesh.
On Wednesday, Nungambakkam recorded 36.6 degree Celsius, while Meenambakkam registered 37.7 degree Celsius maximum temperature which is one-degree more than normal temperature.
“We can expect the temperature levels to stay under control, if the low pressure system over Bay of Bengal intensifies in the coming days,” added Dr Raj of Regional Met Centre.
