Chennai has recorded good rains during the first week of October. However, since October 8, the capital city of Tamil Nadu had begun to witness dry and warm weather conditions. Although, interior parts of Tamil Nadu were seeing moderate showers due to persistence of a north south trough running across Interior Tamil Nadu.
Due to the formation of Cyclone Titli over Northwest Bay, winds changed direction leading to dry weather over Coastal Tamil Nadu and Chennai.
Now, northeasterly winds have become dominant and Northeast Monsoon is just around the corner.
In fact, in the last 24 hours also, the city of Chennai witnessed heavy spells of showers with Minambakkam observatory recording a whopping 69 mm of rains while the Nungambakkam observatory saw moderate spells of 21 mm.
