The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy‑rain warning for Tamil Nadu, while temperatures in northern states are expected to drop.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a heavy‑rain alert for Tamil Nadu, citing an approaching low‑pressure system that is likely to bring intense showers over the next 48 hours. The warning covers the coastal districts and interior regions, urging residents to stay prepared for possible flooding.
Authorities have advised local administrations to activate emergency response teams, clear drainage channels, and keep residents informed through local media. Farmers in the affected zones are cautioned to protect crops, and commuters are warned of potential disruptions on highways and rail routes.
Simultaneously, the IMD reported a cooling trend across northern India, with temperatures expected to fall by 3‑5°C in states such as Punjab, Haryana and Delhi. The shift is attributed to a cold front moving southward from the Himalayas, bringing clearer skies and lower humidity to the region.
