RMC Chennai predicts heavy rain in Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, and Puducherry due to low-pressure area.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, said some places in Chengalpattu, Villupuram, and Cuddalore districts and Puducherry were likely to receive heavy rain on Tuesday (December 24, 2024) and Wednesday (December 25, 2024).
This is due to a weakened depression over the Bay of Bengal becoming a well-marked low-pressure area, which is likely to reach the southwest Bay of Bengal near the north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh coasts around Tuesday. The RMC has also predicted light to moderate rain at a few places in north coastal Tamil Nadu. Thunderstorms are likely at one or two places in the rest of the State and Puducherry and Karaikal areas on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Monday, light to moderate rain is likely to occur at one or two places in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal. Mist or haze is likely during the early morning hours at isolated pockets. For Chennai, the skies are likely to be partly cloudy with light/moderate rain in some areas on Monday. The State recorded dry weather on Sunday.
The Cubbon Park administration has said that any event organised inside the park with over 20 participants need prior permission from the Horticulture Department and in some cases, even permission from the police. This comes after the row over organisers of Cubbon Reads, a reading community, being detained on Saturday, as several turned up for a Secret Santa party.
