Tamil Nadu Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday stated that several districts of Tamil Nadu are likely to witness light to heavy rainfall for the next few days. The weather department stated that the coastal regions are expected to receive heavy rainfall along with thunderstorms and strong surface winds. It further emphasised that the continuous rainfall is likely to provide relief from the scorching heat by reducing the temperature by two to four degrees Celsius. However, the excessive rainfall is also likely to lead to issues like waterlogging and power outages in several cities. The weather department has advised the residents to follow the guidelines and limit their outings to avoid any inconveniences.
