Cyclone Burevi is expected to cause heavy to very heavy rain in some places in southern Tamil Nadu and southern Kerala and extremely heavy showers in isolated places on Thursday.
Similar spells were also to be expected the day before and after in parts of the two states, including Kanyakumari and Thiruvananthapuram.
Cyclone Burevi comes barely a week after Cyclone Nivar, which hit Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh for two days with heavy rains and strong winds. Last week, the very severe cyclone storm Nivar hit Tamil Nadu. While there were no reports of deaths, approximately 2.5 lakh were kept in state cyclone shelters as part of security measures.
The Nivar cyclone caused significant crop damage on over 6.59 hectares in various districts of Andhra Pradesh.
