Potential traffic disruptions as thunderstorms hit Chennai and coastal districts

Sudden downpours and strong gusts on Sunday could cause traffic snarls in and around Chennai and other coastal districts. Commuters are advised to plan alternate routes and avoid outdoor activities during the peak of the storm. The combination of rain‑slick roads and occasional hail may increase the risk of accidents, especially near low‑lying areas.

Local authorities have issued warnings to stay clear of flood‑prone zones and to follow instructions from traffic police.
