| December 16, 2009 | Torrential rain continues to lash Puducherry, Tamil Nadu | | Chennai: Incessant rain continued to lash Puducherry and Karikal for the fourth consecutive day today. The Union Territory government has declared a holiday
for all schools and colleges in Puducherry and Karikal in view of the
rain. Puduchery received 80.6 mm while Karikal received 118.6 mm
rainfall in the last 24 hours. Inclement weather in Tamil Nadu resulted in torrential
rain disrupting daily life of local people. Meteorologists, however, attributed
this to the cyclone 'Ward' that has weakened into a deep depression accompanying
rainfall. They also said that the cyclone is likely to weaken further into a low-pressure
area. On Sunday, the depression was positioned at 9.0 degrees latitude and 83.0
degrees longitude, 400 kilometres south-east of Nagapattinam and 400 kilometres
east of Pambam near Rameswaram. According to meteorologists, heavy downpour is
likely at many places over north coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry over the next
couple of days due to the depression. | |
