Impact & Risks

Flooding has disrupted transportation and daily life in affected areas, with submerged roads and damaged infrastructure posing challenges for residents. Prolonged power outages in urban areas like Sivaganga have compounded difficulties. In Kodaikanal, inundation has affected homes, while landslides in the Nilgiris have hindered movement on key hill roads. The cyclone warning for the Bay of Bengal adds potential risks for coastal areas in Andhra Pradesh, though Tamil Nadu is expected to see reduced rainfall intensity.
