Another day of isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall activity is in store for coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal even as northwest India would continue to witness cold wave conditions, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted on Saturday.

"A cyclonic circulation lies over southwest Bay of Bengal, off south Sri Lanka coast at middle tropospheric level. Under its influence, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall activity is very likely to continue over coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal on Sunday and isolated heavy rainfall over the same region during subsequent 24 hours and decrease thereafter," the IMD said.
