The State is likely to experience thundershowers for the next few days triggered by a low pressure over Bay of Bengal. The maximum temperature during the day may also remain close to normal in most parts of the State.
According to a weather bulletin issued by India Meteorological Department (IMD), an upper air cyclonic circulation is likely to form over South Andaman Sea and neighbourhood on Wednesday.
Under its influence, a low pressure area is likely to form over Southeast Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 24 hours. Triggered by the low pressure, squally weather with wind speed reaching 40-50 kmph and gusting to 60 kmph is likely over South Andaman and adjoining south east, south-west and central parts of South Bay of Bengal, and along and off the Sri Lanka coast till Saturday. Fishermen are advised not to venture into these areas.
