A depression over the Bay of Bengal is moving towards the coast of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, bringing heavy rainfall to South India. The weather system is predicted to reach the coasts of North Tamil Nadu and South Andhra Pradesh early on October 17 and may weaken into a low-pressure area by October 19.
Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will experience light to moderate rainfall, with isolated areas receiving heavy to extremely heavy rainfall today. Heavy rainfall is also expected in north interior Tamil Nadu on October 17. South Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema will see similar weather conditions with light to moderate rainfall and heavy rainfall at some locations today, followed by heavy rainfall tomorrow. South Interior Karnataka and Kerala are likely to have light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy showers over the next two days.
Strong winds of 40-50 km/h, gusting to 60 km/h, will affect coastal areas until midnight on October 16. Rough sea conditions are expected until noon on October 17, and fishermen are advised to stay ashore during this period.
The heavy rainfall may lead to flash floods in Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Tamil Nadu, causing waterlogging on roads and traffic disruptions. There is also a risk of damage to vulnerable structures and localized landslides or mudslides. Horticulture and standing crops might be affected due to inundation and wind.
Authorities are taking necessary precautions. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin stated, "All necessary steps are being taken to clear rainwater and minimize damage." Residents in affected areas are advised to stay alert, avoid flood-prone zones, and follow traffic and weather advisories.
As heavy rain continues to impact South India, residents are urged to remain vigilant and prepared for changing weather conditions.
