Chennai rains have remained far and few for the past few days. So much so that the city did not receive good rains at all for quite some time.
In fact, the last time the city did receive some good rains was on June 24. Thereafter, the city only managed to record a few traces of rain and that too during the end of June. The month of July began on a dry note for Chennai as no rains were recorded during the first three days of the month.

In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the Minambakkam observatory recorded 2 mm of rainfall Meanwhile the Nungambakkam observatory witnessed 3 mm of light rain.
As per weathermen at Skymet, scattered light rain is expected over Chennai during the next 24 to 48 hours. However ,these rains will only be of light intensity. The possibility of good showers over Chennai is ruled out for the next few days.
These rains will be attributed to a trough which is running from Southwest Bay of Bengal off the Tamil Nadu coast. The upcoming rainfall activity will be scattered and will only occur for short durations.
