Heavy rain has affected parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Normal life in many districts is affected. A red alert warning of f heavy to very rainfall, has been sounded in several parts. Many areas are waterlogged. Schools and colleges are shut in Chennai and Tuticorin, Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram.

Widespread rain is expected across coastal Tamil Nadu due to a cyclonic circulation on the Indian Ocean, according to the weather office. At least three people have died in different parts of Tamil Nadu in the last few days.
