Heavy rain likely in Western Ghats today

Chennai records highest rainfall for July in a decade
With the southwest monsoon becoming vigorous, isolated heavy rain has been forecast in the Western Ghats on Friday. While parts of north Tamil Nadu may experience light to moderate rainfall, the India Meteorological Department has warned of landslips in the Nilgiris and Coimbatore districts, which are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at one or two places. A low-pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and the neighbourhood will trigger isolated heavy rain over the Western Ghats. As the circulation is tilting southwest, it would have an impact over Rayalaseema and north Tamil Nadu districts such as Erode, Tirupattur, Ranipet, Vellore, Chennai, Kancheepuram and Krishnagiri districts.More Related News
