The ongoing heavy rainfall has disrupted daily life in Tamil Nadu, particularly in Chennai and surrounding districts. School closures in Tiruvannamalai, Viluppuram, and Kallakurichi aim to ensure student safety amid adverse weather conditions. Parents and students in Chennai remain uncertain about school operations, with some institutions considering a shift to online classes. The yellow alert indicates potential risks of waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and localised flooding in affected areas. Thunderstorms and lightning may pose additional hazards.
