Meteorological agencies have issued alerts for very heavy rain in Tamil Nadu, with Kerala and Karnataka also placed under a heavy‑rain watch.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has projected very heavy rainfall across large parts of Tamil Nadu over the next 48 hours, citing an active monsoon trough moving inland.
The forecast also extends to neighboring states, with Kerala and Karnataka placed under a heavy‑rain watch as the system's outer bands are expected to bring intermittent downpours.
Authorities have urged residents to stay alert, avoid low‑lying areas, and follow instructions from local disaster management officials. Schools and transport services may be disrupted in affected districts.
The IMD advises farmers to protect crops and recommends that state agencies ready flood‑mitigation measures ahead of the expected deluge.
