Tamil Nadu is witnessing heavy rainfall, leading to significant disruptions, including flight delays and cancellations at Chennai Airport. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of continued heavy rainfall for the next three days, as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm.
Several parts of Tamil Nadu, including urban and low-lying areas, are grappling with severe waterlogging, affecting daily life and transportation. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel. Emergency services are on high alert to address any potential risks, and local administrations are working to manage the flood-like situations in many districts.
The IMD has also warned of strong winds and rough seas, advising fishermen to stay away from the coastal areas. Residents in vulnerable regions are being provided support, and disaster response teams are prepared to handle emergencies as the state braces for the impact of the cyclonic system.
