Cyclonic storm ‘FENGAL’ moving towards Tamil Nadu

News

The Deep Depression over Southwest Bay of Bengal moved further north-northwestwards and intensified into a cyclonic storm “FENGAL” while heading towards Tamil Nadu.

The storm was located about 280km Northeast of Kankasanthurai and 310 km north-northeast of Trincomalee at 2.30 p.m. today, the 29th November 2024.

The Meteorology Department said It is likely to move west-northwestwards and cross north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coasts as a cyclonic storm around noon of 30th November.

In Sri Lanka it can be expected that the influence of this system on the island's weather will gradually reduce after today (29).

Showers or thundershowers will occur at times in Northern and North-central provinces and in Trincomalee district. Heavy showers above 100 mm are likely at some places in Northern province.

Showers will occur at times in Western, Sabaragamuwa and North-western provinces and in Galle, Matara, Matale and Kandy districts. Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places elsewhere of the island in the evening or night.

Strong winds of about 60 kmph can be expected at times over Northern, North-central, North- western, Eastern, Central and Southern provinces.
