As Cyclone Fengal intensifies over the Bay of Bengal, Chennai braces for prolonged rainfall expected to continue until December 1. The city has already witnessed heavy downpours, disrupting daily life and raising concerns about waterlogging in low-lying areas.

A deep depression in the Bay of Bengal is expected to briefly strengthen into a weak cyclone on Friday before making landfall as a deep depression bet

IndiGo has issued travel advisories, warning passengers of flight disruptions at key airports like Chennai, Tuticorin, and Madurai due to unfavorable weather conditions.

The deep depression in Bay of Bengal that is going to develop into Cyclone Fengal is still some distance away from Chennai. IMD said on November 28 that the depression is 480 km south-southeast of Chennai. From Puducherry, it was 410 km away in the southeast.

All government, government-aided schools, private schools and colleges in Puducherry and Karaikal regions will remain closed on Thursday due to heavy rain, said Education Minister Arumugam Namassivaya
