Schools shut as heavy rains lash Tamil Nadu

Heavy rain lashed Thanjavur and Pudukkottai districts in Tamil Nadu due to which the schools and colleges in the region have been shut.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the incessant rains have been by a depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal.

IMD has forecast thunderstorms accompanied with lightning in isolated regions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry.

A depression, over the southwest Bay of Bengal, moved west-southwestwards and crossed the Sri Lanka coast during the afternoon of Wednesday, IMD said.

Low pressure along with associated cyclonic circulation extending up to mid-tropospheric levels persists over Tamil Nadu’s Comorin and the neighbourhood areas.

Heavy rainfall of one centimetre was recorded in Tamil Nadu’s Attransapattinam and Cuddaloce districts on Friday, as per IMD.
