Cyclone Ditwah brings heavy rains and waterlogging to Tamil Nadu

India Dec 01, 2025

Cyclone Ditwah may have weakened, but it's still causing a mess across Tamil Nadu.
Chennai and nearby districts are seeing continued rain, with waterlogged streets and flights getting canceled.
The system is expected to stick around the coast for another day, so things might stay soggy for a bit.

What's happening on the ground?

Chief Minister M K Stalin has called a meeting with the collectors as parts of Rameswaram are flooded and nearly 200 habitations in Thangachimadam were marooned.
Rescue boats are ready in hard-hit spots like Velachery.
The IMD says the depression could move north soon, so everyone keeps an eye on more rain ahead.
