Blazing skies continue to torment larger areas of the country. The scenario is no different in the interiors of TN as almost 8 stations record 40 plus day highs. Coastal TN remains blessed to some extent with the aid of sea breeze setting in early to moderate temperatures. The day would begin with bright sunshine dotted with cloud patches in the sky.
Sea breeze would set in across the coastal districts as early as late fore noon time, and thereby will keep temperatures from rising beyond in the afternoon. Interior districts will stay calm with weak winds and temperatures will peak to high thirties to low forties. Isolated rains likely in the interiors during the late evening. A line of wind discontinuity running across the interiors of TN through interior Karnataka will trigger some thunderstorms activity in Kerala, Karnataka and parts of Telangana. Heat wave in north and east India will subside a bit.
