CHENNAI: The cyclonic storm Montha, which formed over the Bay of Bengal, is expected to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast later on Tuesday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
While Tamil Nadu is not likely to experience the full force of the storm, several districts, including Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpattu, are witnessing heavy rain, prompting authorities to issue safety advisories and temporary closures.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, said that although Montha would primarily impact coastal Andhra Pradesh, its outer bands have been bringing persistent rainfall to northern Tamil Nadu since Monday.
