Other areas of Tamil Nadu that recorded some rains of light intensity include Kodaikanal 3 mm, Dharmapuri 2 mm and Tirupathi 1 mm.
As per Skymet Weather, due to surging maximums and high humidity, local clouds had developed over the city that led to light rain activity.
Weathermen expect scattered rains with few moderate spells over the city for the next two to three days. The reason behind these rains could be a feeble cyclonic circulation that is most likely to develop from North Bay of Bengal to Tamil Nadu Coast.
