Arab Weather - The Indian Meteorological Department announced via social media platforms that the Pondicherry region witnessed the heaviest rainfall over 24 hours in 30 years, which led to major floods in the region.

Human and material losses due to the hurricane

Cyclone Fingal has killed at least 19 people in India and Sri Lanka. It has also caused widespread flooding in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry after crossing India's southern coast from the Bay of Bengal.

In Chennai, large parts of the city were submerged, causing flights to be temporarily halted before they resumed later. Local footage showed strong winds and heavy rains that flooded roads and forced rescue teams to use boats to help residents.

The Indian Army has taken over relief operations in Pondicherry, providing assistance to residents in the worst-hit areas, while the rains have gradually subsided in Chennai.

Catastrophic effects in Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, data from the Disaster Management Centre in Colombo said the cyclone had killed 16 people, with 138,944 households affected by heavy rains and associated flooding.
