Cyclone ‘Fengal’, which is intensifying into a cyclonic storm after midnight on Thursday, is expected to bring heavy to moderate rains in the coastal districts of Tamil Nadu for the next 2-3 days. Here are top 10 updates on Chennai weather: The deep depression, which lay about 300 km southeast of Nagapattinam, 400 km southeast of Puducherry and 480 km southeast of Chennai, will become a cyclonic storm tonight or early tomorrow morning, but would weaken as a deep depression while crossing the coast between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram. "To cross the north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coasts between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram around the morning of November 30, as a deep depression with a wind speed of 50-60 kmph gusting to 70 kmph," a bulletin from the weather office said. There is a possibility of marginal intensification of the deep depression into a cyclonic storm with wind speeds of 65-75 kmph gusting to 85 kmph over Southwest Bay of Bengal, Balachandran said. For land areas, strong winds reaching a speed of 50-60 kmph and gusting to 70 kmph are likely to prevail over the coastal areas north of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, while squally winds with a speed 55 kmph to 65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph is likely to prevail over TN coast, adjoining Comorin area and Gulf of Mannar.
