Light to moderate rain can be expected across the state till October 7, Met department officials said. “Chennai too is expected to get light showers on these days,” said an India Meteorological Department official. A low-pressure area, likely to form over southeast Arabian Sea on October 5, could develop into a depression and move north-westwards in the next 48 hours, he added.

A release from Skymet, a private weather forecasting agency, said winds over Tamil Nadu changed direction and were currently blowing from east/southeast direction. The change in wind pattern is expected to intensify rain over the state and the monsoon is expected to strike any time.

“The northern parts of the state including Chennai will receive moderate to heavy rain in the next 24 to 48 hours. This system is likely to give moderate to heavy rain from October 8 to 10. Although there is no specific date for the onset of monsoon, weather conditions will begin to change during the second week,” said the release.

Weather blogger Pradeep John said interior regions of the state might experience intense spells of rain in the coming days. “Squalllike clouds will hit the western districts again. Through the day, interior parts of the state will get rain and from night to early morning it will be the coastal belts that will be hit by rain,” he said.
