Ronanki Kurmanath, Meteorological Department, Andhra Pradesh Disaster Management Authority, warns of “heavy to very heavy rainfall” with wind speeds reaching 40-60 km/h along the coast ¹.

Affected Areas and Precautions


In Tamil Nadu, floodwater has receded in areas under the Greater Chennai Corporation after Tuesday’s rains, according to Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin.

  • Train No. 20623 Mysuru-KSR Bengaluru Malgudi Express
  • Train No. 20624 KSR Bengaluru-Mysuru Malgudi Express

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has advised citizens to take precautions and assured the government’s preparedness to manage the situation.

Travel Disruptions


Train, flight, and bus services have been disrupted due to the heavy rainfall. The Southern Railway has canceled several express trains, and domestic flights have been affected due to insufficient passenger turnout.

Government’s Response


To mitigate the situation, the state government has set up 931 relief centers, providing food and medical care to those affected. The Greater Chennai Corporation has deployed thousands of workers, pumps, and relief teams across the city.

Precautions and Advisories
