The Northeast monsoon could lead to heavy rainfall, waterlogging, and flooding in low-lying areas of Tamil Nadu, particularly in Greater Chennai and its suburbs. Disruptions to daily life are anticipated if mitigation measures are not completed on time. Risks include electrocution hazards due to exposed electrical infrastructure and potential delays in transportation along major arterial roads. The state government is working to minimise these risks by enhancing drainage systems, clearing waterways, and ensuring safety protocols are in place.
