Coimbatore experienced scattered rainfall throughout the morning, with heavy downpours in Flower Market and R.S. Puram areas. The sudden deluge caused waterlogging on roads, disrupting traffic and inconveniencing commuters.
Coimbatore: The Coimbatore district witnessed scattered rainfall since morning, but the situation intensified in the afternoon as heavy rain accompanied by thunder and lightning lashed the Flower Market and R.S. Puram areas. The sudden downpour has led to significant waterlogging on the roads, causing difficulties for commuters and pedestrians alike.
The heavy rainfall has particularly affected the Flower Market area, a busy commercial hub in the city, and R.S. Puram, a prominent residential and commercial locality. The roads in these areas are now inundated with rainwater, making it challenging for vehicles to navigate through.
Two-wheeler riders are facing the brunt of the weather conditions, struggling to maneuver through the waterlogged streets. Four-wheeler drivers are also experiencing difficulties due to reduced visibility and the risk of water entering their vehicles. Pedestrians and general public in these areas are equally affected, forced to wade through ankle-deep water in some places.
The sudden intense rainfall has caught many by surprise, as the morning saw only light showers across the district. Local authorities are expected to step up efforts to clear the waterlogged areas and manage traffic flow to minimize inconvenience to the public.
Residents and visitors to these areas are advised to exercise caution while traveling and to avoid unnecessary journeys until the water recedes. The local meteorological department is monitoring the situation closely, and further updates on the weather conditions are anticipated.
