On Thursday, the Tamil Nadu government warned the fishermen not to venture into the sea for the next four days from November 18 to November 21, until further orders.

In the midst of a fresh warning, the Tamil Nadu government has been deploying rescue teams and efforts to address the calamity caused by the rainfall.

The state is getting ready to brace up for another round of very heavy downpours from November 10 and the trend would remain nearly for four days. 

After a high-level meeting of ministers and officials, Chief Minister MK Stalin said that Tamil Nadu may get 35 to 75 percent more rain.

According to the meteorological department, Chennai recorded the third-highest rainfall in 72 years on Tuesday - November 1.

After recording a surprise spell on Monday, Chennai is bracing up to witness heavy rainfall for the next three days and besides Chennai, several parts of Tamil Nadu would also record downpours.

The incident has triggered a massive outrage against the government which is already facing public outcry for its apathy in addressing the crisis.

In the midst of witnessing the worst times, the rivals BJP and Congress have found time to play their political game blaming each other for how Bangalore is today.

The Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai has predicted that the month of September is likely to get more intense spells.

On Sunday, Chennai and its suburbs had rainy dusk with incessant rainfall and thunderstorms. The sudden downpour has caused major disruption and several areas in the city were waterlogged.
