An atmospheric circulation persists over south coastal Kerala at a height of about zero point nine kilometres. A trough of low pressure extends from this circulation up to south interior Karnataka. Meanwhile, a fresh low-pressure area is also likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal and move northwestward over the next four days toward north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh coastal areas, raising rain prospects in coastal districts according to Thanthi TV.
