The weathermen also said that since no major weather systems are in the Bay of Bengal there is a possibility of heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu.
From November 17 to 23, the state has recorded only 3 mm of rainfall against an average of 34mm expected during the period.
The IMD in a statement said that 16 districts of Tamil Nadu did not receive any rain and 22 districts have received less than average rains.
