Tamil Nadu's North Coast and Chennai Forecasted to Receive Moderate Rainfall Till August 27
Tamil Nadu's north coastal region, including Chennai, is expected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall and gusty winds up to 50 kmph until August 27, influenced by a cyclonic circulation over Odisha and an offshore trough near the coast. Sporadic showers have already provided relief from heat in several northern districts. Temperatures across the state are predicted to remain near normal, with maximums around 37-38°C in Chennai and isolated areas experiencing slightly above-normal temperatures. Rainfall is also expected over parts of the Western Ghats and neighboring districts.
