Madurai: Heavy rain whipping Ramanathapuram and its surroundings on Friday night and Saturday morning forced the district administration to declare a holiday for schools in the district.
The rain gradually reduced that night but that day remained extraordinarily cloudy.
However, the coastal area of Rameswaram and Pamban did not receive heavy rainfall.
Madurai has drizzled in many parts of the city in the morning while the sky remains cloudy, something unusual in February.
