Heavy rains lash Chennai & adjoining districts, schools shut

Heavy rains lashed Chennai and the adjoining districts in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday with the arrival of the Northeast monsoon. Schools have been shut in the region.

The Regional Meteorological Centre has warned of heavy rain accompanies by thunderstorms and lightning in Chennai and the adjoining districts of Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Chengalapattu till Wednesday.

Stormwater drain work is yet to be completed in several areas around Chennai, Erode, Salem, and Kancheepuram, leading to waterlogging and inundation in several areas, according to an IANS report.

Rains are likely to continue in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for the next five days due to the presence of a low atmospheric circulation in the Southwest Bay of Bengal along the North Sri Lankan coast and the onset of northeast monsoon rains as per the Chennai Meteorological Centre.
