The India Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall and gusty winds across 11 districts of Tamil Nadu, with the wet conditions projected to persist for the next seven days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a weather advisory indicating that heavy rain and gusty winds are likely to affect eleven districts of Tamil Nadu. The forecast, released on Monday, points to widespread precipitation accompanied by wind speeds that could reach gusty levels.
Authorities have urged residents in the affected districts to remain vigilant, secure loose objects, and avoid non-essential travel, especially in low‑lying areas prone to waterlogging. Local administrations are on standby to respond to any emergencies that may arise from the expected downpours.
The IMD expects the wet spell to continue for a full week, with intermittent showers and strong breezes persisting throughout the period. Meteorologists will monitor the system closely and provide updates as the situation evolves.
Farmers and commuters have been advised to plan accordingly, as prolonged moisture may impact agricultural activities and road conditions across the region.
The department reaffirmed that the forecast is based on the latest satellite and radar data, and it will issue further bulletins if the intensity of the weather system changes.
