IMD issues orange alert for Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala until Nov. 23

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, indicating the potential for severe to very heavy rainfall on November 22 and 23.

The weather department has also projected heavy to very heavy rainfall during the same period in Kerala and Mahe. 

The IMD has urged the public to exercise caution, steering clear of wet areas, unpaved roads, and congested places. These advisories come on the heels of two weeks of moderate to heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu, leading to widespread waterlogging and the closure of schools in certain areas.

The issuance of an orange alert underscores the likelihood of disruptions and underscores the importance of proactive measures to mitigate the impact of anticipated rainfall. Authorities are closely monitoring weather patterns, and residents are strongly advised to stay informed about updates and adhere to safety guidelines.
