The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai predicts that this new system will strengthen, potentially bringing intense rainfall to Chennai, neighboring districts, Ranipet, and Villupuram. The existing weather system from the previous days is expected to merge with another over the Arabian Sea, potentially causing heavy rainfall in the Western Ghats region and some northern Tamil Nadu districts like Ranipet and Vellore on October 24th.

Tamil Nadu Braces for More Intense Rainfall as New Low Pressure System Brews

CHENNAI, October 24, 2025 – Tamil Nadu is preparing for another round of heavy rainfall, starting October 26th, as a new low-pressure area forms over the Bay of Bengal. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has issued warnings of potentially intense rainfall in Chennai, its surrounding districts, as well as Ranipet and Villupuram.

This comes after several days of heavy rainfall due to an active Northeast monsoon, which has already caused flooding and displacement. On October 23rd, Fire and Rescue Services personnel were seen rescuing residents marooned in Vellore district.

According to B. Amudha, Head of the RMC, the developing low-pressure system is expected to strengthen over the weekend. The existing weather system that had impacted the state previously will merge with another over the Arabian Sea, potentially causing heavy rainfall in the Western Ghats region and some northern Tamil Nadu districts on Friday.

“The rainfall activity over the State will be influenced by an interplay of various synoptic features,” Amudha stated. “Southwesterly winds around the weather system would also bring moisture to the coastal districts.”

The RMC noted that the exact areas impacted by the impending rainfall are subject to change based on the movement of the weather system.

Tamil Nadu has already experienced a surplus of rainfall this October, with an overall rainfall of 21.2 cm, 85% above the normal average. Arakonam in Ranipet district recorded the heaviest rainfall of 13 cm in the 24 hours ending Thursday morning.

Residents in the affected areas are urged to take necessary precautions and stay updated on the latest weather forecasts.
