Relief on the horizon

Tamil Nadu has been experiencing unusually hot afternoons over the past few days, with temperatures soaring up to 38°C. However, relief is here as thunderstorms begin to develop across several regions.

This will likely bring a significant drop in temperatures, providing much-needed respite from the heat.
