Residents of Chennai can expect moderate rainfall over the weekend, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Cloudy skies and intermittent showers are forecast across the city, bringing relief after several days of hot and humid weather.
The IMD said that weather conditions are being influenced by atmospheric systems over southern India, which are expected to trigger rain and thunderstorms in Chennai and several parts of Tamil Nadu. While widespread heavy rainfall is not anticipated within the city, moderate showers may occur during the evening and night, with isolated areas experiencing brief spells of heavy rain.
Civic authorities have advised residents to exercise caution while travelling, particularly in low-lying areas where temporary waterlogging is possible. Motorists have also been urged to drive carefully as wet roads could lead to slower traffic and reduced visibility.
Meteorologists expect the rainfall to continue intermittently through the weekend, helping bring down daytime temperatures and improving overall weather conditions across Chennai. Authorities will continue monitoring the situation and issue further advisories if weather conditions change.
