Chennai, Nov 30 (IBNS) : A cyclonic storm is likely to hit Tamil Nadu coast between Vedaranniyam and Chennai by December 2, the India Meteorological Department on Wednesdya said.

It said that the storm stands currently categorised as a deep depression, only a step from being called a 'named cyclone.'

It currently lays centred about 1070 km east-southeast of Chennai, 1030 km east-southeast of Puducherry and 720 km east-southeast of Trincomalee (Srilanka).

The speed of lateral movement as also degree of intensification is apparently faster than normal, the Met department said.

"The system is very likely to move west-northwestwards, intensify into a deep depression during next 24 hours and into a cyclonic storm in subsequent 24 hours. It is very likely to cross north Tamil Nadu coast between Vedaranniyam and Chennai by the morning of December 2," reports quoted IMD as saying.

The IMD has advised fishermen not to venture into sea along and off Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts from evening of November 30 onwards.

Those at sea have been advised to return to the coast.

According to IMD predictions, light to moderate rainfall is very likely to occur at many places of coastal Tamil Nadu from the evening of November 30.
