Severe Weather Alert: Intense Rainfall Predicted for Tamil Nadu Districts

The Met Office has warned of intense rainfall targeting Western Tamil Nadu over the coming 72 hours. Districts such as Coimbatore, Theni, and Dindigul are likely to witness heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms. This shift in weather is attributed to a low-pressure trough developing near the Kerala coast and moisture influx from the Arabian Sea. While the western belt prepares for cooling rains, the capital city of Chennai is expected to remain largely hot and humid, though cloud cover may provide slight relief from the direct sun. Residents in vulnerable areas are advised to stay indoors during peak lightning activity.
