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.

Cyclones like Fengal are common during the northeast monsoon season and can disrupt lives, damaging homes, crops, and infrastructure.

Relief teams worked tirelessly to restore normalcy by clearing roads, distributing essentials, and setting up shelters.

India, especially coastal states, faces regular cyclones due to its geography. Awareness about cyclone preparedness, like staying updated on weather reports and following safety guidelines, is crucial to reducing their impact.
