| Expected path of Cyclone NILAM |
Expected Nilam is still a deep depression, but it will start intensifying and turn into a cyclone by today (Tuesday, 30 Nov. 2012) evening. It will then hit the coast just below Chennai by tomorrow (Wednesday, October 31, 2012) evening.
Nilam will be a moderate storm with wind speeds exceeding 62 KMPH at the least. Though gale winds may touch the 100 KMPH mark. Nothing to sneeze at that.
Lots of rain. It must be raining in Chennai and the rest of Tamil Nadu now. The rains are going to increase all the time. Expect a deluge.
There will be heavy rains in Andhra Pradesh too over the days
