In response to heavy rainfall in the region, the administration of Nilgiris district has announced a one-day holiday for schools in Gudalur and Pandalur. This decision comes in response to concerns raised by the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), which has predicted a significant increase in daytime temperatures—expected to be 2-3 degrees higher than the seasonal average.
Watch:
As moderate westerlies and southwesterlies persist across the region in the lower tropospheric levels, districts in the Western Ghats including The Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli, and Dindigul are expected to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall over the next two days. Meanwhile, the rest of the State can anticipate light to moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorm activity.
