Severe Rainfall in Chennai Expected to Subside by Tomorrow Night, Says Tamil Nadu Weatherman
Tamil Nadu Weatherman Pradeep John has predicted that the heavy rain and flooding in Chennai will gradually reduce by tomorrow night. The city has been inundated with water due to Cyclone Mikjam, with many areas resembling flood forests.
Despite initial predictions of Cyclone Mikjam making landfall in Chennai today, it is now expected to hit Andhra Pradesh early tomorrow morning. The ongoing heavy rainfall has led to waterlogging in various areas, resulting in power cuts and difficult conditions for residents.
According to John, Chennai has already experienced 350 mm of rain in the last 36 hours, with heavy clouds continuing to loom over the city. Although the cyclone may move towards Nellore, there is still the potential for continued rainfall in Chennai.
Local authorities, including the Chennai Mayor and Ministers, are actively inspecting the flood-affected areas and assessing the damage caused by the heavy rainfall. Pedestrians are facing challenges due to the piling up of garbage on the pavements, adding to the difficulties caused by the inclement weather.
