The meteorological office has forecast heavy rain in Chennai and "very heavy rainfall" in coastal Tamil Nadu. The heavy spell is expected to continue for next 2-3 days, MeT Director S Balachandran said. He added that about 16 places have already recorded very heavy rainfall and 21 places heavy rainfall.
The weather office said the heavy rain is the result of northeast monsoon that hit the southern coast a few days ago.
