Chennai: Chennaiites started their day with drizzle today as showers were witnessed in various parts of the city this morning.
According to weather officials, Northeast monsoon is likely to pick up pace from today, bringing in more showers for Chennai. From today, Chennai is expected to receive rains late in the night or early in the mornings.
Attributing this to a cyclonic circulation that is closer to Tamilnadu coast and southwest Bay of Bengal, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials said that interior districts of Tamilnadu will receive rains during the day starting today.
The IMD has said, “The sky condition is likely to be partly cloudy. Thunderstorms with light rain are likely in some areas. Maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 34°C and 25°C for the next 48 hours.”
According to an IMD official, “This is likely due to a cyclonic circulation which is closer to Tamilnadu coast and southwest Bay of Bengal.”
