Cyclone Fengal's impact continues with torrential rains forcing school closures in Puducherry and parts of Tamil Nadu. We bring you the latest updates.

The northeast monsoon has increased water levels in Chennai's reservoirs. Water storage, which was at 46.99% after Cyclone Phethai, has now risen to 60.15%. The Poondi reservoir has reached 1 TMC after 7 months.

Cyclone Fengal is set to cross the north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coastline between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram as a cyclonic storm during the evening of November 30.

The uncharacteristically slow pace of the cyclone has caused it to hover over the Bay of Bengal, causing it to gather more moisture. According to experts, this is causing heavy rain in several parts of the state.

Cyclone Fengal made landfall on Saturday night between 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm IST, near Puducherry, with wind speeds of 70-80 km/h, gusting up to 90 km/h.

CM MK Stalin reported Cyclone Fengal has severely impacted 14 districts, affecting 1.5 crore people and damaging infrastructure. He requested ₹2,000 crore from the Centre for relief efforts and restoration.
