Long post alert

There has been a lot of talk about what is likely to happen for #Chennai and the surrounding districts in the next 4 days.

And it's been a while since I last gave a concrete update and so this I feel is the time to give one

#chennairains #chennaiweather (1/n)
To answer the big question here.

Will #Chennai and surrounding districts get heavy to very heavy rains as being discussed everywhere.

The straightforward answer would be a big "YES".

HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS VERY LIKELY IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS FOR CHENNAI AND SURROUNDINGS.
The next question that is being is being widely asked is why?

There is a low pressure area that is forming and taking shape in the Central Bay of Bengal region and is likely to move west towards Northern #Tamilnadu coast

It can become a well marked low and at best, a depression

Chennai has been worse severely hit & these are lessons learnt from #chennai floods & rains 2021

Nature is the most powerful force in the universe.

Prayers stay with you if you invest in them.

A positivity mindset is key to survive hard times.

People help each other out when there is time of need!

Manual labourers need to be treated with much more respect.

The city requires a lot of work and only depending on the government is totally absurd.

A bunch of studios and big apartments motored out water to the streets. How much ever rich they get, a responsible mentality is never attained!

This is the status of #Kovalambeach beach on ECR. Tonnes of water hyacinth from upstream #Chennai rivers filled with plastic, liquor bottles, biomedical waste & trash washes ashore here. #ClimateEmergency

This is the #TamilNadu Blue Flag Beach, supposedly the cleanest. Unless, we clean #Chennai rivers, tourists coming here will be at risk. Massive pollution noticed. Right time for #TNPCB to track source.

Local fishermen are losing their livelihood due to the #pollution coming from #Chennai.

Extremely heavy rainfall alert for #Chennai

Close to 200+ mm rainfall is expected in most places in the city overnight.

I am still seeing messages where people are asking whether it would rain as it is being "hyped". Please note that if it doesn't happen we would be the happiest.

But unfortunately - the blogging community on the whole is of the same opinion that there would be heavy rains
Not only Chennai

#Kanchipuram #Chengalpattu #Kallakurichi #Villupuram #Cuddalore #Nagapattinam #Karaikkal #Pondicherry #Ranipet #Thiruvallur #Vellore and even #Krishnagiri should be on high alert as the system is expected to move inland

91B is gradually intensifying and rainfall will gradually increase over the course of the day.

Whatever warnings that were given still hold good.

Avoid venturing out.

#Nellore to #Karaikkal coast to be on high alert as the system is consolidating and the cloud bands are getting organized- slowly and steadily.

This would mean that rains will be more as the system nears the coast
Many asked me that there is not as much rainfall as anticipated. This would be primarily because the system is getting organized slowly and building a strong convective outer band. You can clearly see in the below image

Thread: Will post visuals from different parts of Chennai and other updates to give a sense of the situation on ground today.

Though water has receded at some places, several roads are still waterlogged.

These visuals from GN Chetty Road, T Nagar 👇🏼

Our cities are crappily planned?... LOL! How the hell can you say that?... These are the "Smart Cities" conceived by @NarendraModi.. where nature takes care of garbage.. and enables him to do "aerial surveys"... #ChennaiFloods...
Everything in India was created by Modi... no matter how old or new... Chennai was created by him in his previous Avatar as Aurangzeb..
Hahhaa.. Why are you getting so worked up as if Modi is your grandad... What happened to the stupid Smart City certificates.. More lipstick on a pig?... STFU whining if you cannot take simple sarcasm... And if youre so sensitive.. TAKE A WALK! ..
