Patchy Rains to Prevail in The Southern Peninsula

The evening thundershowers that have been occurring over the last few days are likely to continue as we move into October, closer to the north-east monsoon which Tamil Nadu eagerly waits for with bated breath. Partly cloudy skies are likely to greet the peninsula in the morning with patches of bright sun peeking through to the ground. While isolated rains continue to occur in Tamil Nadu, the neighbouring regions of Rayalaseema, south interior Karnataka and Kerala are also likely to accumulate rainfall with serene grace. Thunderstorms are possible in the eastern parts of the country which includes the states of West Bengal, Odisha, etc.

City Outlook:

Chennai – Skies littered with high clouds with protruding beams of sunlight. Maximum temperatures of 33-34 C likely with chances of evening showers.

Trichy – Partly cloudy with the mercury peaking at 35 C. Thunderstorms possible in the evening.

Madurai – A hot afternoon marked by a maximum of 36-37 C followed by an evening with showers developing in the vicinity.

Coimbatore – Mildly warm day on the cards following an unprecedentedly wet September. Maximum temperatures of 31 C likely.

Vellore – Warm day with the thermometer capping at 32 C followed by showers in the evening.
