Schools closed in Ramanathapuram due to heavy downpour
Due to heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu, all schools in Ramanathapuram district will remain closed on Tuesday, October 22, 2019. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted heavy rainfall in Chennai from Tuesday for the next two days due to cyclonic circulations over South Tamil Nadu. Apart from Ramanathapuram, the schools in Kochi also remain closed on Monday as heavy rainfall lead to water-logging in several areas.
Close to 70 per cent of the state’s rainfall is received during the northeast monsoon which is from October to December. This rainfall helps in replenishing groundwater and water bodies across the state. Deficient rainfall received during the Northeast monsoon in 2018 had left Tamil Nadu in a lurch this year, with parts of the state finding themselves under an unprecedented drought-like situation.
