Weak Trough Brings Scattered Rainfall to Tamil Nadu Amid Persistent Interior Heat
A weak trough along the Tamil Nadu coast is expected to bring scattered rainfall across parts of the state until July 28, with increased intensity over northern Tamil Nadu and the Western Ghats during the weekend. Despite this, interior regions like Madurai and Karur will continue to experience above-average temperatures, with Madurai Airport recording 41.5°C. The Southwest monsoon remains weak in the southern peninsula, but conditions favor thunderstorms and gusty winds in isolated areas of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
