On Saturday morning, parts of Chennai were lashed with heavy rain
Many parts of the city received heavy rain on Saturday morning, as an upper air circulation over the Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka coasts brought with it rain-bearing clouds. According to the Met Office, the city is likely to continue to have cloudy skies with moderate rain or thundershowers over the next couple of days with some areas even getting heavy showers. It could be heavy in some places at certain times. “The cyclonic wind circulation extends from a height of 1.5 km to 3.5 km above mean sea level over the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka and rains have been forecast for the State till the 25th,” explained officials at the Regional Meteorological Centre here.More Related News

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
