A depression that was formed on Monday morning over the southwest Bay of Bengal and located around 630km away from Chennai coast is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm — which will be named Nivar – in the next 24 hours.
The system is expected to bring heavy rain to Chennai and neighbouring districts starting Tuesday.
