Popular weather blogger R. Pradeep John shared insights on Facebook, noting the heavy rains in the southern districts like Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, and Tenkasi. He mentioned that rainfall bands have been concentrated in these regions for hours.

"Tomorrow will reveal the extent of heavy rains. I will keep an eye on the Manjolai hills. Manimuthar and Papanasam dams still have significant storage capacity left to fill. For Chennai, this is likely the last spell of rain from this low-pressure system," he wrote, predicting that rains would taper off by Friday night.
