The HinduThe cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal would induce wet weather over different parts of the State till January 16. Heavy rainfall would sweep through the region from delta districts and interior parts in the north on Sunday and Monday to southern districts on January 14 and 15. A cyclonic circulation over Southwest and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal would revive fairly widespread rainfall across the State on Sunday.

P. Senthamarai Kannan, Director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre, Chennai, says rainfall will pick up intensity and cover various districts as the weather system progresses across the State.
