Authorities have issued a precautionary advisory for fishermen not to venture into the sea for the next 36 hours as a low-pressure area forms in the southwest Bay of Bengal. The weather system is expected to intensify, bringing rough seas, strong winds, and the possibility of heavy rain along parts of Tamil Nadu’s coast.Deep-sea fishing vessels have been advised to return to shore, and those already at sea have been instructed to seek the nearest safe harbor.
Coastal districts, including Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, and surrounding areas, may experience rough sea conditions with periods of heavy rainfall and thunderstorm activity.
Local fisheries departments and coast guard units are coordinating to ensure the safety of fishermen and to monitor sea conditions.
This development comes amid ongoing monsoon activity and unsettled weather patterns in the region. The public is urged to stay away from beaches and to follow government advisories until conditions improve and a fresh forecast is issued.
