According to the IMD, the districts likely to experience heavy rainfall include Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Cuddalore, Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, Chengalpattu, and Vellore. The rainfall is expected to be accompanied by strong winds, which may lead to disruption in daily activities and traffic.
