Chennai airport closes operations until 11:30 PM Monday as severe Cyclone Michaung triggered intense Chennai rains, throwing daily life into disarray from heavy downpours and strong winds. With conditions worsening, Michaung also disrupted flights, seeing 10 cancellations and 20 delays overnight amid the inclement weather. While airport operations continue otherwise, airlines have asked passengers to confirm the fight status before leaving home. Cyclone Michaung is forecast to cross the Andhra coast between Nellore and Machilipatnam soon. IMD expects wind speeds around 80-90 kmph, potentially exceeding 100 kmph. As the system closes in, air travel and normalcy stand hampered by torrential Chennai rains and precarious winds nearing 100 kmph speeds.
