NEW DELHI -- The low pressure area now centered over southwest Bay of Bengal adjoining north Tamil Nadu- South Andhra Pradesh coasts is continuing to cause heavy-to-very-heavy rain in Tamil Nadu and at isolated places over south coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and South Interior Karnataka today.

Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea along & off north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh coasts as strong wind speed reaching 35Â45 kmph gusting to 55 kmph would prevail along and off the coasts today.

It is predicted that heavy rain would occur tomorrow at isolated places over south Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
