Travellers planning a trip to Tamil Nadu must reconsider their plans as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Chennai along with 16 other districts in the state for heavy rainfall. This could disrupt travel and daily life with waterlogging, traffic delays, and other conditions.
Travellers should expect potential delays and road disruptions, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Orange Alert districts
The IMD has listed Thiruvallur, Coimbatore, Nilgiris, Tenkasi, Dindigul, Theni, Thoothukudi, Sivagangai, Pudukkottai, Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Tiruppur, Kanniyakumari, and Chennai under this high-risk category.
Meanwhile, Madurai and Virudhunagar are under a yellow alert, which indicates moderate rainfall. Though not as intense as in orange alert regions, travellers here are still advised to remain cautious. Keep checking for local updates.
The current rainfall activity is driven by a cyclonic circulation over the Southeast Bay of Bengal and the adjoining South Andaman Sea. This weather system is expected to influence the region’s climate over the next five days.
What to expect in Chennai for next five days:
Chennai, an important centre for both domestic and international travellers, will experience fluctuating weather patterns through the week. The IMD forecast includes:
May 31: Cloudy skies, 28°C to 34°C
June 1: Partly cloudy
June 2: Light rain with patchy clouds
June 3: Thundershowers expected, 29°C to 34°C
June 4: Partly cloudy skies
As of now, the city is experiencing high humidity (71%) and overcast conditions with southwest winds at 19 km/h.
Travel Advisory
Travellers are advised to avoid unnecessary travel during peak rainfall hours and exercise caution on wet roads. With no closures announced for schools or offices yet, it’s essential to monitor local news and IMD bulletins for real-time updates. Those with travel plans in Tamil Nadu should consider checking with transport operators and planning contingencies.
Stay safe, stay informed, and be prepared for potential weather-related disruptions across Tamil Nadu in the days ahead.
