Chennai set for heavy rain November 21-23: IMD issues alert

India Nov 18, 2025

Heads up, Chennai—moderate to heavy rain is on the way from November 21 to 23, says the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
A yellow alert is out for several districts across Tamil Nadu due to expected downpours, with warnings about slippery roads, traffic jams, and possible flooding in low-lying areas.

Why bother?

This isn't just a passing shower. Southern districts like Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari, and Thoothukudi are also bracing for intense rain.
Recent rains have already closed schools in Puducherry and Karaikal.
If you're in or around Chennai, keep an eye on weather updates and avoid waterlogged spots—your commute and plans might need a quick change!
