The India Meteorological Department has issued an alert forecasting sustained heavy to very heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu extending through October 24. The warning suggests that the current weather system affecting the state is expected to persist for several more days, potentially leading to waterlogging and localized flooding in vulnerable areas.
