Chennai rains have made a comeback once again. After remaining dry for over four months, the capital city of Tamil Nadu finally recorded some good rains. However, while these rains brought in some relief at first, heavy downpour thereafter reminded residents of the unforgettable Chennai deluge which threw life out of gear during the fag end of the year 2015.
While heavy rains in Chennai are an unusual sight during the month of May, the depression which has formed in the Bay of Bengal has resulted in flooding rain over Sri Lanka and many parts of Tamil Nadu.
