Cyclone “Ditwah” is steadily shifting away from Sri Lanka and tracking toward the Bay of Bengal coast, with its path now directed at Tamil Nadu, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The storm is forecast to make landfall over north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and parts of south Andhra Pradesh early on November 30.
The IMD warns that these regions are likely to experience heavy to extremely heavy rainfall on November 29 and 30. A red alert has been issued for districts such as Cuddalore, Mayiladuthurai, Villupuram, Chengalpattu, and Puducherry, where rainfall totals may exceed 21 cm.
In addition, strong winds reaching speeds of up to 90 km/h are expected to sweep across many areas of Tamil Nadu today, prompting authorities to urge residents to stay alert and follow safety advisories.
