Meteorological Department has issued a warning for heavy rainfall across 15 districts in Tamil Nadu, with Chennai likely to experience showers in the evening.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather bulletin today warning of heavy rainfall across 15 districts in Tamil Nadu. The forecast covers the northern and central parts of the state, including districts such as Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, and Kanchipuram.
In Chennai, the capital city, the IMD predicts scattered showers in the evening hours, with a chance of moderate rainfall. Residents are advised to stay indoors during peak hours and avoid unnecessary travel.
Local authorities in the affected districts have urged people to secure loose items, check drainage systems, and be prepared for possible road closures. The department has also advised farmers to safeguard their crops and livestock.
The heavy rain is expected to bring relief to the region after a period of dry spells, but it may also lead to localized flooding in low‑lying areas. Citizens are encouraged to monitor updates from the IMD and follow safety guidelines issued by municipal bodies.
