Chennai has been severely impacted by heavy rains from the northeast monsoon, with 63.5 mm recorded on October 21. The downpour caused widespread waterlogging, uprooted trees damaging vehicles, and significant traffic snarls in key areas like Velachery, Medavakkam, and Pallikaranai. A notable incident involved a rain tree falling on a car in Nungambakkam, injuring two women.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued continued heavy rainfall alerts, including an orange alert for Chennai and surrounding districts, with further intense rain expected through October 24. Authorities are actively managing flood relief and drainage improvement projects to mitigate the effects. Residents are advised to exercise caution due to localized flooding and poor air quality exacerbated by the rains.
