Chennai: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall warning for Chennai, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu districts today, with Kanchipuram and Ranipet districts also expected to receive significant downpours. The alert comes as the Northeast Monsoon remains active over Tamil Nadu, already prompting precautionary measures, including the declaration of a school holiday in Dharmapuri district.

Meanwhile, a deep depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal, which was being closely monitored, has shown signs of weakening. The system is expected to move towards the north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh coast and weaken further into a depression within the next 24 hours, reducing the threat of it intensifying into a more severe weather phenomenon.
