Coimbatore: The Chennai Meteorological Center has issued an orange alert for heavy rainfall in Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts on July 15. This warning comes as both districts have been experiencing intermittent rainfall over the past few weeks.

The orange alert indicates the possibility of significant heavy rainfall in these regions, prompting residents and local authorities to take necessary precautions. The Meteorological Center has emphasized the importance of being prepared for potential weather-related issues.

In addition to the orange alert for July 15, the weather department has also issued a yellow alert for moderate rainfall in both Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts for the following day. This indicates that while the intensity of rainfall is expected to decrease, there is still a likelihood of considerable precipitation.

Local authorities are advised to stay vigilant and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of residents. This may include monitoring water levels in rivers and reservoirs, preparing for possible flooding in low-lying areas, and issuing advisories to the public regarding travel and outdoor activities.

Residents of Coimbatore and Nilgiris are urged to stay informed about the latest weather updates and follow any guidelines or instructions issued by local authorities. Farmers and those engaged in outdoor occupations should also take necessary precautions and plan their activities accordingly.

The continuous rainfall in these regions over the past few weeks has already increased water levels in various water bodies. The additional heavy rainfall forecasted could potentially lead to further increase in water levels and may affect daily life in some areas.

As the monsoon season progresses, the Chennai Meteorological Center continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide regular updates on the weather conditions in Coimbatore, Nilgiris, and other parts of Tamil Nadu.
