Tamil Nadu is likely to experience the storm by the end of the week.

The low-pressure system is gaining strength due to higher sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal, which range from 28 to 30 degrees Celsius. While it is forecast to bypass Sri Lanka, the storm is expected to move towards the Tamil Nadu coast in the coming days, with IMD predicting it will become a full-fledged cyclone by November 27.
