MUMBAI – The India Meteorological Department has forecast very heavy rainfall over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal on Saturday, Thursday and Friday and over Kerala and Mahe on Thursday and Friday. For the next seven days, most parts of southern India are likely to receive heavy rainfall, it said.

In central India, a gradual rise in maximum temperatures by 2–4 degrees Celsius is likely till Friday. A rise in maximum temperatures by 2–3 degrees Celsius is likely over Gujarat by Sunday.
