The weather department has issued a forecast predicting heavy rainfall in the Western Ghats region of Tamil Nadu. According to the report, high maximum temperatures combined with high humidity are expected to create uncomfortable weather conditions in the north coastal areas of the state.
Weather Alert for Western Ghats
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heavy rains in the Western Ghats districts, including the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, and Theni. These areas are likely to experience significant precipitation over the next few days, which may lead to waterlogging and landslides in vulnerable regions.
Impact on North Coastal Areas
While the Western Ghats brace for heavy downpours, the north coastal parts of Tamil Nadu, including Chennai and its suburbs, are expected to face sultry weather. The combination of high temperatures and humidity will make the conditions feel even more oppressive, with heat indices rising significantly.
Precautionary Measures
Residents in the affected areas are advised to take necessary precautions. Travelers heading to the Western Ghats should be cautious of slippery roads and potential landslides. Meanwhile, people in the coastal regions are urged to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.
The weather department has also urged fishermen not to venture into the sea along the Tamil Nadu coast due to rough conditions. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
