Heavy rains for Chennai Oct 19-21, IMD predicts


The state of the sky in Chennai is expected to be cloudy for the next 48 hours.

After a relatively hot week, Chennai and other districts of Tamil Nadu are likely to see thunderstorms and light to moderate rain for the next four days. Sky conditions in Chennai are expected to be cloudy for the next 48 hours.

According to the website of the Indian Meteorological Department, Chennai and the surrounding districts could witness heavy rains between October 19 and October 21. Also, the capital city will continue to receive moderate rains on Sunday. This is the direct result of a low pressure area likely to form over the East-Central Bay of Bengal and the adjoining Andaman Sea on October 19. It will become more marked during the next 24 hours.

“Light to moderate rainstorms are likely to occur in some locations in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Kalakurichi, Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur, Dharmapuri, Salem, Krishnagiri, Tiruvannamalai, Cuddalore, and Nagapattamilinamadu districts of Puuchernmalaadu, and the Pugapattamilinamadu districts. It is also likely to rain on Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam and Karaikal, “states the IMD website.

Meanwhile, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, “light to moderate rainstorms are likely to occur in some parts of northern Tamilnadu, Puducherry and Karaikal.”

Weather blogger Pradeep John, popularly known as the Tamil Nadu meteorologist, also predicted that the rains will continue for the next three to four days.

“The favorite wind pattern for the north of Tamil Nadu persists with northwesterly winds and a synoptic circulation in the Bay of Bengal. The above wind pattern will persist for the next 3-4 days and then it will be caught by the west trough and washed up in the north. But until then a gift awaits us, “he blogged.

The maximum and minimum temperatures in Chennai for the next 48 hours are likely to be around 32 ° C and 26 ° C respectively.
