Yesterday 4 people died due to Lightning in #Virudhunagar. Every year, >5000 die in India. This thread is about Lightning precaution & busting myth. Many think, people die due to direct lightning strike, but most of the death happens due to the concept called step potential 1/10

AAI (which runs Chennai Airport) is asking TN govt for a direct road connection from NH179B to handle more cargo. This road will be built on the Adyar river (Since, we can’t acquire people land, rivers become a target). River here carries Chembarampakkam outflow, Stupidity 🤦1/2

I don’t much care about Parandur airport, TVK said, they oppose the airport, they got overwhelming support from KTCC in the election, so they stop it, people got what they voted for. But why to occupy Adyar river, nobody voted for this stupidest road project on the Adyar river.

I have no problem with this road project, if they acquire patta land along the river without touching the Adyar river and its flood plains

God save Adyar river. They ruined Buckingham canal with MRTS They are ruining Cooum with Maduravoyal expressway Now they are planning to ruin Adyar river for Airport Corridor(design take it along Adyaru) Deep brain rot is killing one of the most flood prone city in the world
T5 Terminal at Chennai Airport: Proposal gathers speed, Tamil Nadu government and Airports Authority of India (AAI) discuss: - Elevated corridor from NH 32 near Madha Engineering college being proposed - Airport authorities say this plan may take 7-8 years to complete Should TN govt focus on building a separate airport than this? Tell us your thoughts #SuperChennai

Please leave the existing airport alone, don’t expand, it puts lot of restrictions on core city planning, create lot of noise pollution, roads are not equipped to handle cargo, advance ILS is difficult). This Airport corridor road create 1000 times more flood risk than Parandur

As El Nino continues to strengthen this week the daily Nino 3.4 index has reached 3.1°C breaking the 2015 record which peaked during the month of November. In a way we all are heading into uncharterd territory. A year of unknown. NEM 2026 is also likely to be a year of unknown. This is the first of the two part COMK NEM outlook this year. The first part focusses on trying to find the closest year from the past (though no year is likely to come anywhere close in terms of the Nino levels this year). Please note the idea behind finding an analog year is not to give rainfall forecast but provide indicative monsoon performance. chennairains.com/nem-2026-a-… For some of you the post may be technical but as weather blogging evolves the interest levels and understanding also continues to evolve.

For more than months, the river information feature is not loading in the Water Resources Information System website. I request @DoWRRDGR_MoJS to fix them, it’s a very crucial information that helps many planners. nwic.in/wris/#/riverBasins indiawris.gov.in

Kanchipuram dt is an old Palar delta, fertile soil with high rainfall. Sadly, TN is a basket case of bad landuse mgmt, due to red & green towel “political” groups, we can’t industrialise dry lands of west TN(groundwater level >1000ft), forced to build industry in fertile KTCC 1/2
One of Most beautiful village in Kanchipuram - Keezhambi 😍. Situated approximately 8 to 10 kilometers west of Kanchipuram town near the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway (NH 48), it serves as a rapidly growing suburban area blending rural heritage with modern connectivity

All these led to very bad landuse management in Tamil Nadu where we are protecting farming in waterless, less fertile dry regions and destroying fertile region for economic opportunity

Agriculture is the most water consuming activity, many industries need less water (recycling is possible). TN should not attract water intensive industries like Textile , sadly we lead in that area. We do everything against our geography
Remember 2400 paddy farmers consume equivalent fresh water of all industries in Chennai metropolitan region put together. Solution to our water issue is to Invest in less polluting industry and service sector. Stop glorifying Agriculture

I have a new piece out in Nature today on the record-breaking 2026/2027 El Niño, what impacts we should expect, and how governments can prepare. The Niño3.4 region is currently running more than 1C hotter than any prior event on record, and we remain months away from the peak.

To protect western ghats, Govt of India set-up Madhav Gadgil committee, that said, all areas of the ghats be protected & giving power to locals but GoI refused, setup a Kasturirangan, which identified 1/3rd of ghats as sensitive region, now Govt of KA setting up 3rd committee 1/3
JUST IN | Sending a strong message against the proposal to declare parts of the Western Ghats as ecologically sensitive areas (ESAs), the Karnataka Legislative Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution opposing the K Kasturirangan report on the Western Ghats. Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who tabled the resolution, informed the Council that a committee headed by a retired judge would be set up and a physical survey would be done to assess the impact of the report on the livelihoods of people living in the region. He said the survey would be completed in a year. - @AfshanYasmeen reports

Government's in India mastered the art of data manipulation to get the report of their suiting. Even in poverty, govt's keep setting up new committee to change the definition of poor to get lower poverty rate figure, keep setting new committee till the time you get number suits
