Meteorological reports indicate that the storm will bring not only heavy rainfall but also strong winds, posing a threat to low-lying coastal areas and inland regions. Fishermen have been advised to stay off the seas, and coastal communities are being closely monitored. The weather system is expected to cause significant disruption, including power outages, transportation delays, and potential flooding in affected areas.
In addition to issuing warnings, the Tamil Nadu government has preemptively closed schools and colleges in several districts to ensure the safety of students. Local authorities are closely monitoring river levels, with an eye on potential flooding in urban and rural areas alike.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that the storm will weaken as it moves inland but will continue to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu and parts of Kerala. CM Stalin reiterated that all efforts were being made to protect citizens and minimize damage, urging residents to stay informed and prepared.
