The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall for Tamil Nadu and Kerala on October 24, urging residents to stay prepared.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a weather bulletin for October 24, forecasting widespread heavy rain in the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Meteorologists expect the downpours to begin in the early morning and continue through the evening, with rainfall intensity ranging from 50 to 100 mm in several districts.
Authorities have cautioned that the expected precipitation could lead to water‑logging in low‑lying areas, especially in coastal districts and urban centers. Local administrations are on standby to deploy emergency response teams and clear drainage channels to mitigate potential disruptions.
Residents are advised to stay updated with real‑time alerts, avoid unnecessary travel during peak rain periods, and secure valuables against possible flooding. The IMD has not issued similar heavy‑rain warnings for other states on the same day.
