The state meteorological department has issued a rain alert for the southern and delta belts of Tamil Nadu, while forecasts show Chennai will remain warm and dry.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed the southern and delta belts of Tamil Nadu under a rain alert, citing the likelihood of moderate to heavy showers in the coming days. The advisory covers districts along the southern coast and the fertile delta region, where the monsoon trough is expected to move closer.
Authorities have warned that the rainfall could be intermittent and may cause localized waterlogging, especially in low‑lying areas. Residents in the affected zones have been advised to stay informed through local bulletins and to take precautionary measures where necessary.
In contrast, the capital city of Chennai is forecast to remain warm and dry during the same period. Meteorologists predict clear skies with temperatures ranging in the comfortable mid‑30s Celsius, and no significant rain is expected to reach the city.
The IMD has urged the public to monitor updates regularly, as weather conditions can evolve rapidly. Emergency services remain on standby to respond to any unforeseen developments.
