Published by : Reported by : Last Updated:October 27, 2025 11:28 PM IST. On October 28th, heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu, especially in northern regions, has led to continuous downpours in Chennai over the past few days. This has caused water levels to rise significantly in areas with sand, clay, and rocky terrains. Additionally, the ‘Mondha’ cyclone forming in the Bay of Bengal is expected to hit the Tamil Nadu coast tomorrow, with the Indian Meteorological Department issuing warnings about winds reaching speeds of 60-80 km/h, increasing the likelihood of heavy rainfall in districts like Chennai, Thiruvallur, Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and Ranipet. Today, Chennai continues to experience uninterrupted rainfall, while other areas are facing waterlogging issues. Meanwhile, as a precautionary measure due to the cyclone warning, the Chennai District Collector Rasi Siddharth Jagadeesh has announced a one-day holiday for all government and private schools in the city. Tomorrow, October 28th, all schools in Chennai will remain closed, with no decision made yet regarding college closures. Similarly, the Thiruvallur District Collector has deemed student safety a priority, declaring a holiday for all schools in the district. The Meteorological Department, along with coastal observation of the cyclone path forming in the Bay of Bengal, has issued warnings of ongoing heavy rainfall in the next 48 hours in the northern districts of Tamil Nadu, emphasizing caution.
