The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning that heavy rainfall will affect Tamil Nadu and Kerala through mid‑November, with the possibility of localized flooding.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather bulletin on November 1 indicating that a series of low‑pressure systems will bring widespread rain to Tamil Nadu and Kerala over the next two weeks.
Meteorologists expect the rainfall to be moderate to heavy, especially in coastal districts such as Chennai, Cuddalore, Alappuzha and Kozhikode, with isolated thunderstorms that could intensify the downpour.
Local authorities have been advised to activate flood‑relief measures, clear drainage channels, and issue advisories to commuters and farmers to mitigate disruption.
The IMD has warned that the situation could worsen if the monsoon trough deepens, urging residents to stay updated through official alerts.
