In response to the deluge besieging Tamil Nadu, numerous districts have decreed closures for educational institutions. This measure, affecting locales including Nagapattinam, Viluppuram, Cuddalore, and others, has been taken to ensure safety amid weather adversities. Particularly affected, Nagapattinam saw considerable precipitation overnight, prompting officials to halt academic activities.
January, characteristically lacking in rainfall, has seen an uptick in precipitation due to atmospheric conditions favoring wind convergence. Even Chennai observed lighter bouts of rain and overcast skies. The official weather agency forecasts targeted heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu, highlighting the unpredictability of the weather in the northern and southern parts of the state in the ensuing days.
As Chennai braces for potential rainfall, surrounding districts of Tamil Nadu adopt precautionary measures, with closure announcements for schools and colleges in specific districts. These decisions come as weather experts point out a shift in monsoon patterns. Meanwhile, as Chennai holds its breath for the rains to come, educational establishments in several districts remain shuttered, an echo of the actions in the delta region, based on the projection of substantial rain for January 8.
