Heavy Rain Forecast in Three Tamil Nadu Districts as Weak Low-Pressure System Persists A weather bulletin issued by the Regional Meteorological Centre has warned of heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms in three districts of Tamil Nadu—Chengalpattu, Villupuram, and Cuddalore—on Wednesday. The forecast indicates that a weak low-pressure circulation persisting over the coastal belt of the state will create favorable conditions for rainfall across several regions. The department also noted that moderate rain is expected at isolated locations in Tiruvallur, Tiruvannamalai, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Mayiladuthurai, Pudukkottai, Sivaganga, Madurai, Dindigul, and Theni. Thunder and lightning may accompany the rainfall in some areas, prompting authorities to issue safety advisories. Residents have been urged to exercise caution during thunderstorms and avoid seeking shelter under trees or near weak structures. While coastal and southern districts are anticipated to receive significant rainfall, the interior regions of Tamil Nadu are likely to experience a rise in daytime temperatures. Maximum temperatures in these areas could remain up to four degrees Celsius above normal for the next four days, leading to hot and uncomfortable conditions, particularly during the afternoon. Vulnerable groups, including children, senior citizens, and outdoor workers, have been advised to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, stay hydrated, and take precautions against heat-related illnesses. In Chennai and its suburbs, the weather is expected to remain partly cloudy, with moderate rain and thunderstorms likely to occur in some areas during the evening or night. Sudden downpours could lead to waterlogging in low-lying regions, potentially disrupting traffic movement, especially during peak hours.#tamil_nadu #regional_meteorological_centre #chengalpattu #villupuram #cuddalore
