Tamil Nadu witnessed heavy rainfall during the northeast monsoon and, according to the IMD, the ‘convective cells’ led to the rainfall. A forecast by the IMD had said: “Thunderstorm with mild rain is likely to occur over coastal Tamil Nadu. Thunderstorm with moderate rain is likely to happen in Villupuram, Cuddalore, Puducherry and Karaikal. Light rain is also likely to happen in Tamil Nadu districts.”
