School Closed: Holiday has been declared in educational institutions in several districts on Wednesday following the forecast of heavy to very heavy rains in many parts of Tamil Nadu. The Regional Meteorological Center (RMC) has issued a warning of very heavy rains.
Following this, district collectors have declared holiday in schools and colleges in Chennai and its neighbouring districts including Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur and Chengalpattu. In view of the possibility of bad weather, officials have extended the holiday in schools and colleges in the delta districts of Mayiladuthurai, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Villupuram.

Holiday has also been declared in educational institutions in Karaikal and Puducherry. RMC in Chennai said that the depression over southwest Bay of Bengal has intensified into a deep depression and is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm on Wednesday. According to weather officials, the deep depression is approaching the state and is just a step away from being declared a cyclone.
Red alert on 28 and 29 November
Current forecasts indicate that the developing cyclone is likely to move towards Chennai, but the exact landfall location may vary, possibly anywhere between Puducherry and Chennai or even extending beyond Tamil Nadu borders to Andhra Pradesh. The RMC has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall over Tamil Nadu for the next three days due to this deep depression. A red alert has already been issued for several districts on November 28 and 29.
