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.
