Tamil Nadu to Expand Weather Monitoring with Rain Gauges and Radars for Monsoon Forecasts
Tamil Nadu plans to enhance its weather monitoring infrastructure by adding 1,000 automatic rain gauges and installing four new weather radars in Tiruchi, Kanniyakumari, Yercaud, and Ramanathapuram. The Tamil Nadu Disaster Risk Reduction Agency and India Meteorological Department are collaborating to improve flood response and forecast accuracy, which has increased significantly in recent years. The Northeast monsoon is expected to bring normal rainfall, with forecasts now providing detailed village-level predictions and improved warnings for heavy rainfall, lightning, and cyclones.
