Nilgiris, Salem, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Vellore and Tiruvallur districts
Moderate Rainfall districts:
Coimbatore, Erode, Tiruppur, Tiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram and Chennai district

Any popups??
Climate change’s gender discrimination will be far more pronounced in those swathes of the poorer, developing world where sexual inequality is typically much greater, where the effects of global warming will be more extreme, and where less money is available to protect against the consequences, they said.
Women in poorer countries tend to be more vulnerable because, when disaster strikes, sexist social structures mean they are far more likely to be in the home cooking, cleaning or looking after others, putting them at greater risk from collapsing buildings.
But that is just one of many reasons why women tend to suffer disproportionately in natural disasters in the developing world. The research suggests that women could be considered more vulnerable in severe storms because they are less likely to have been taught to swim in poorer countries, as well as being more unlikely to own a mobile phone which could be used to call for help.
In the most extreme cases of disasters in patriarchal societies, women may be unable to leave the house without a male companion or their movement can even be hampered by long clothing, experts said.
“Climate change makes all of the very big and complex problems that exist in the world today a whole lot worse,” said Professor Hilary Bambrick, of Western Sydney University, who points out that 90 per cent of the 150,000 people killed in the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone were women.
Nearly 3,000 women across the world are calling on political leaders to put women’s vulnerability to global warming at the centre of their action to tackle climate change – ahead of a key United Nations summit in Paris in December, which aims to reach an agreement on how best to tackle global warming.

One of the best days for rains in Chennai. Watch out for interiors in Tamil Nadu, Salem, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Vellore, Nilgiris. Kovai, Tiruppur all going to be battered. As always Kanyakumari will rock.
Chennai will get more rains during the course of the day.

Pouring in east tambaram now….rainfall has been continuous around here from last night
Shocking. Holiday for what
If this criteria for rain holiday continues. God save chennai
abbaa. two or three days rain holidays in a year will not creat big issue.
Still 2 months of nem is there how many holidays they will give
2 months will give hardly 15 days rain. NEM is not like SWM.
kea. let them enjoy. any how it is raining intermittently. it is very difficult to carry kids in this situation.
It’s not knee deep water
still rain traffic, slushy roads and what not.
We have slushy roads in drizzle too
Haha
This is not meant for kids going by van/car but for govt school students who suffer most
Anna University Semester exams will go on as per scheduled
Knowing my school, I have to leave in an hour

All news flashing due to heavy rains schools and collages in chennai have been closed today

Moderate rains continue
Smashing rain for past 15mins, now to moderate..Sw looks dark.. Some parts of central Chennai didn’t got rain incl nunga..

Showers continued 5am to now…
Chapala simply reluctant to lose steam and die.
Gokul any news on our system. Ecmwf favors our Diwali system
Event of rains have good probability , but as said yesterday intensity seems fluctuating. That would fall in line only when genesis is a bit more clear.
Ecmwf looks consistent compared to gfs
Yeah as usual.
Chennai District collector sundaravalli, declared holidays for schools and colleges due to heavy rain in Chennai from early morning & water logged in many areas of Chennai..
