Cyclone Senyar: Rain alerts out for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry

India Nov 27, 2025

Heads up, Chennai and Puducherry—IMD has issued rain alerts as a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal is set to become a depression by November 27, heading your way by November 29.
No worries about Cyclone Senyar itself; it's active near Indonesia but isn't expected to hit India.

What to expect this weekend

Heavy rain is on the cards for north Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, with up to 21cm possible over the weekend.
Yellow alerts are out for southern coastal districts on Thursday, and Ariyalur plus Cuddalore get mixed alerts on Friday.
IMD suggests staying updated—this rain could actually help areas that have missed out lately, keeping the overall monsoon season slightly above normal so far.
