Chennai, Dec 5 (BPNS)
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for thirteen districts of Tamil Nadu on December 8th.
This is following the possibility of heavy rains in these districts. The districts that were issued Red Alert are Villupuram, Chengalpattu, Cuddalore., Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Chennai, Kallakurichi, Myladuthurai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam districts of Tamil Nadu.
The weather department predicted heavy rains following a low-pressure depression that is being formed over the South East Bay of Bengal. The depression is likely to move in a west-northwest direction during the next 48 hours and this may intensify.
The IMD also predicted light to moderate rains in Puducherry and Karaikkal. It may be noted that the state has deficit rainfall during the month of November and is expected to catch up during December. There were flood-like situations in Tamil Nadu every December since 2016.
