The city is expected to get more rain in the coming days because of a cyclonic circulation over the South Andaman Sea and southeast Bay of Bengal.
Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) said the sky condition was likely to be partly cloudy. Light rain or thundershowers is likely to occur in some areas in the next two days.
A cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal and a north-south trough from north Karnataka to the Gulf of Mannar will have an impact on the city’s weather. Already, this has led to a general dip in the maximum temperature since Friday, when the mercury level peaked to 35°C. The city recorded 33.2°C on Tuesday, a stable figure for the past three days.
However, the day between 8.30am and 3.30pm was hotter than it was on Monday. The temperature was well over 33°C till 2.30pm while it peaked to 33°C at 12.45pm and then started to dip on Monday.
The low pressure formed in the Arabian Sea had its impact across the peninsula. However, officials said the chances of a heavy rainfall were remote while the sky might remain cloudy through the day like it was a week ago.
The water stock available for the city has come down considerably when compared to last year.
Water level at Poondi and Cholavaram is at 13mcft (million cubic feet) and 8mcft respectively. Last year, Poondi had 28mcft and Cholavaram had 26mcft.
However, Redhills and Chembarambakkam have good storage compared to the previous year. While Redhills has 525mcft water, Chembarambakkam has 366mcft.
