According to IMD officials, the deep depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal has intensified and is expected to turn into a severe cyclonic storm by October 28 (Tuesday).

As of now, the Tamil Nadu government has not declared a school holiday for October 27. However, the decision will depend on the rainfall intensity and wind conditions in the next few hours. District administrations in Chennai, Tiruvallur, and Ranipet are keeping a close watch on the situation.
