Listen to the story

People in Chennai want to know about the next rain. The weather centre gave new information about this.

Chennai had heavy rain on Diwali morning. The rain did not stop for many hours.

The weather centre also gave a warning for two other places. These are Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi districts.

The warning says there will be heavy rain today in these districts. People must be careful.

A video showed the heavy rain on Diwali morning. It showed a lot of water falling fast.

Weather centres check the sky and the sea. They tell people when rain will come.

This helps people in Tamil Nadu plan their day. It also helps them stay safe from floods.

More rain may come to Chennai soon. The weather centre will share more news later.
