Following a brief period of dry weather, downpours have resumed in southern India once again causing dangerous flooding.
Tropical moisture from the Bay of Bengal surged back into southern India, drenching areas from Nagapattinam to Nellore this week, and the threat will continue into this weekend.
Rainfall spread as far north as Visakhapatnam in northeastern Andhra Pradesh early this week; however, the heaviest rain remains focused over eastern Tamil Nadu.
The most numerous downpours and heaviest rainfall will be focused on the southeast coast of India from Ramanathapuram northward to Chennai on Thursday and Friday.
New flooding problems will remain a concern with additional rainfall of 100-200 mm (4-8 inches) from Thursday through Sunday.
