The heavy rains are a result of the depression left behind by Cyclonic Storm Fengal, which weakened into a Well-Marked Low-Pressure Area on Monday morning, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). 

The IMD said “The depression (Remnant of Cyclonic Storm ‘Fengal’) over north coastal Tamil Nadu & Puducherry moved nearly westwards and weakened into a Well Marked Low-Pressure Area at 0530 hrs IST of today, the 02nd December 2024, over North Interior Tamil Nadu. The remnant low-pressure area is likely to emerge over southeast and adjoining east-central Arabian Sea off north Kerala-Karnataka coasts around 3rd December 2024.”
