The Indian Meteorological Department issued a forecast for September 21 predicting heavy rainfall and high‑speed winds in 13 states, including Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released its weather outlook for September 21, indicating that heavy rain and high‑speed winds are likely to affect a large part of the country. The forecast covers 13 states, with Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh highlighted among the most vulnerable regions.
Meteorologists expect rainfall intensities to exceed normal levels, accompanied by gusts that could reach damaging speeds in coastal and inland areas. The combination of moisture-laden monsoon currents and a developing low‑pressure system is driving the severe weather pattern.
Authorities have been advised to activate emergency response plans, including pre‑emptive flood warnings, road closures, and advisories for residents to secure loose objects and avoid travel in exposed locations. The IMD will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as the system evolves.
