How Cyclonic Systems Influence Rainfall

Cyclonic systems in the Bay of Bengal can draw moisture from surrounding areas, intensifying rainfall. For instance, a brewing cyclone may pull a low-pressure area from the Arabian Sea into its circulation, leading to heavier spells of rain. This interaction can result in widespread rainfall across districts like Chennai, Chengalpet, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur.
