Chennai, May 6: The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has issued a warning for heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds in several districts of Tamil Nadu over the coming days. This weather pattern is attributed to a trough, a low-pressure area, extending from Madhya Pradesh to Tamil Nadu.
According to the meteorological department, this trough is currently passing through the Gulf of Mannar and is affecting districts such as Theni, Dindigul, Karur, Tiruchirappalli, Namakkal, Erode, and Nilgiris. As a result, heavy rainfall is expected in many parts of the state, with wind speeds reaching up to 50 km/h.
The RMC forecasts heavy rain and strong winds on Wednesday in the hilly and western districts, including Nilgiris, Tiruppur, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari, and Coimbatore.
Authorities have advised residents in vulnerable and low-lying areas to remain cautious, especially in regions prone to landslides and flooding.
The weather department has also predicted widespread rainfall on May 7 in districts such as Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Erode, Theni, Tenkasi, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli, and Kanyakumari. Storms may occur in several southern and western districts, with lightning and winds reaching speeds of nearly 40 km/h.
Moderate to heavy rainfall is also expected in Dindigul, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram, Sivaganga, and other nearby districts in the coming days. Officials indicated that intermittent rain and cloudy conditions are likely to persist across many parts of the state until the weekend.
Meanwhile, the RMC has specifically warned of heavy rainfall in Mayiladuthurai and Pudukkottai districts on May 8 and 9.
Fishermen have been advised to exercise caution while venturing into the sea, as adverse weather conditions are anticipated along the coast. State disaster response teams and district administrations have been urged to stay alert and monitor sensitive areas closely.
