Several parts of Tamil Nadu, including Chennai and its neighbouring districts, experienced rainfall Wednesday owing to a well-marked low pressure area over the southwest Bay of Bengal.
Under the influence of the system, the Met office has forecast rains for Tamil Nadu during the next two days.
A bulletin said a well marked low pressure area "lies over southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal Tamil Nadu."
Under its influence, fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy showers are likely over Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during the next two days, it said.
Noting that rains have already begun to lash the eastern and central parts of the State, a Met official here said Chennai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Villupuram were among the districts that experienced rainfall.
Between one cm (Cuddalore, Ariyalur) and 7 cm (Tarangambadi at Nagapattinam district), rainfall was recorded in various places of the State from 8.30 am Tuesday to 8.30 am Wednesday, and Chennai (Nungambakkam) recorded 2 cm, the Met office said.
