The reason for these showers as per Skymet Weather can be attributed to a trough which was over coastal Tamil Nadu. In the wake of this, Chennai recorded good rains.
However, now, this trough has become less marked and due to the absence of any significant weather system prevailing over the region, dry weather is expected to prevail over Chennai for the next 2-3 days.
