Chennai braces as heavy rain and cyclone threat loom
The skies over Chennai remain cloudy with a looming threat of heavy rainfall, as the India Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for the city and surrounding districts including Tiruvallur.
Rain is expected to intensify in the afternoon and may continue into the evening, increasing the risk of water-logging and disruptions. While no full-blown cyclone has been confirmed, authorities are closely monitoring conditions over the Bay of Bengal for possible cyclonic formation. Residents are advised to stay indoors, avoid venturing near water bodies and follow official updates.
