Heavy rains cause waterlogging in parts of Tamil Nadu

Several parts of Tamil Nadu witnessed severe waterlogging after the region received incessant rainfall.

Visuals from Chennai and Rameswaram showed vehicles struggling to drive past waterlogged roads.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier predicted 'generally cloudy sky with heavy rain' in the city for the day.

It further predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during next five days.

In another tweet, IMD said isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over Tamil Nadu during next 24 hours, and again isolated heavy rainfall on October 30, November 1 and November 2 in the state.

IMD also predicted isolated heavy rainfall over Kerala and Mahe on November 1 and November 1 and over South Interior Karnataka on November 2.

"Generally dry weather very likely over most parts of Northwest, West, Central and East India during next five days," it said in a prediction for other parts of the country.
