Increase in thunderstorm activity anticipated over coastal TN

After nearly a week of dry weather, thunderstorms are set to bring some respite to a few  parts of the state as the Westerly winds are expected to weaken slightly. This will aid the Sea Breeze front to penetrate resulting in cooling late evening / overnight showers. Chennai City could see day time temperatures of 34-35C and there remains a strong possibility of scattered thunderstorms during evening and night.
