Presently, the city is witnessing overcast sky conditions. As for the cyclone, it has further moved away from Kerala coast. However, as the moderate winds are still blowing from Bay of Bengal which are pushing moisture towards Chennai and adjoining areas of Coastal Tamil Nadu, light showers may continue over the region.
Thus, much rain is not expected over the city. However, cloud formation is expected to take place due to which on and off short spells of rains will continue over the city.
Rains will once again pick up pace by December 4 night as the low-pressure area which is over Andaman Sea is expected to move towards Tamil Nadu due to which heavy rains will be seen over the region.
