The state of Tamil Nadu has been battling dry weather conditions for more than 10 days now. Moreover, the coastal stations of the state have been reeling under humid and warm weather conditions.
The last time parts of the state record some traces of rains was during mid-March, between March 16 and 18.
Since then, the state has remained mainly dry. Due to the persistent dry spell, the temperatures across most parts of the state are settling in the mid-30s with a few locations even registering the mercury levels close to or more than 35 degrees.
Despite the absence of rains, the temperatures are under check and are getting arrested below their normal levels. Usually, during this time of the year, the state of Tamil Nadu observes maximums in their mid and high 30s only.

However, now this dry saga over the state is likely to end soon as some rains are predicted for some parts of the state in the next 24 to 48 hours. As per Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation can be marked over Comorin. In addition to this, another cyclonic circulation is over the interior parts of North Karnataka and a trough is extending from this system up to interior Tamil Nadu.
The combination of all these weather systems is likely to give light scattered rains over South Tamil Nadu in districts like Tuticorin, Palayamkottai, and Madurai in the next 24-48 hours.
However, the weather of the northern stations and the districts lying along the coastal belt of the state are expected to remain dry and warm. Hence, these light spells of rains would escape the cities of Chennai, and Puducherry.
Though the temperatures over the coastal areas would be in the lower 30s, isolated parts of North Interior Tamil Nadu like Dharmapuri, Salem would have to reel under the very warm weather and soaring mercury levels in the order of 36-37 degrees Celsius.
Hence, in a nutshell, it can be said that despite these light isolated spells, there will not be much relief over parts of the state from the ongoing warm weather conditions.
