CHENNAI: Heavy rains continued in Tamil Nadu on Friday leading to the inundation of crops and waterlogging in many rural and urban areas while the deep depression over the Gulf of Mannar near Ramanathapuram is likely to weaken into a depression today.
The India Meteorological Department tweeted saying the deep depression over the Gulf of Mannar, near the Ramanathapuram district's coast, remained stationary, about 40 km southwest of Ramanathapuram.
It would remain stationary over the same region and weaken into a depression during the next 12 hours and then into a well-marked low-pressure area, it said.
While there was widespread rainfall covering many parts of the state, several regions reported heavy to extremely heavy showers including Kollidam (36 cm, Nagapattinam district), Chidambaram (34 cm, Cuddalore), and over two dozen areas received between 10 and 28 cm rain.
