Cyclone FENGAL recently hit the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, bringing heavy rains and strong winds.

After crossing the coastline, it left a well-marked low-pressure area over north interior Tamil Nadu. This caused widespread rainfall, leading to water logging in urban areas and flooding in some rural regions.
