Impact on TN and Puducherry

Heavy flooding witnessed in several parts of Tamil Nadu

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.
