Heavy Chennai rains to finally arrive

November 20, 2018 1:22 PM|

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu has been witnessing scattered showers during the past few days. These rains were in wake of Cyclonic Storm Gaja. Earlier it was anticipated that Gaja would give some good showers over the city but it changed its route midway towards south, sparing Chennai of any good rains.

Now, the good news is that the intensity of showers is all set to pick up the pace during the next 24 hours. According to Skymet Weather, the well-marked low-pressure area lying over Southwest Bay of Bengal is expected to travel in the westerly direction towards the Tamil Nadu Coast. In consequence to this, we can expect a few intense spells to show up overChennai, marking an end to the extended wait for some heavy rains over Chennai.

The weathermen expect moderate showers with one or two heavy spells over the city during the next two to three days. With the rains, the mercury levels are also likely to drop by two to three degrees.

By November 23, we are expecting a significant decrease in the rainfall activity over Chennai as the weather system will fade away while moving westwards knocking the way for dry weather conditions.

The Tamil Nadu capital is well known for its extreme weather conditions. For most of the year, barring the Monsoon and winter, the region endures hot and humid weather.
