Chennai:26.02.2019
Barely three months into the year and a virtual heat wave has started to hit the state. Five places recorded temperatures close to 40°C on Monday.
Salem was the hottest, recording 39°C, while Dharmapuri registered 38°C and Coimbatore registered 37.2°C. In an indication that summer days are edging closer in Chennai, Tiruttani, about 90km from the city, recorded 38°C.
An India Meteorological Department (IMD) official said the temperatures showed that summer was setting in. “These regions usually heat up first and is an indication that maximum temperature will be going up in the coming days."
The temperature will go up in the hilly areas further in the coming days. As a result, he added, the temperature in the plains including Chennai would also increase.
The maximum temperature will be around 33°C and no rain is likely.
‘Over 50% chance of normal monsoon’
There’s more than 50% chance of normal monsoon this year, private weather agency Skymet said in a “preliminary” forecast on Monday. The forecast is driven by the prediction that El Nino conditions will recede in the coming months, Skymet said on Monday. P 12
Mornings in Chennai likely to be nippy for a few more days
The official said, “This is a usual phenomenon every season. There will be respite only when normal convective action brings rain. But that will be for a day or two.”
The met department has not forecast a substantial increase in temperature in the city. The maximum temperature will be around 33°C and no rain is likely.
There was not much of an increase in the maximum temperature in Chennai in the last few days, hovering in the range of 32°C to 33°C.
An official said as the maximum temperature increased, the nights would get warmer. However, the mornings were expected to be nippy for a few more days in Chennai because the sky was clear and there was no cloud to mask the cold temperatures of upper atmosphere from percolating down.
The met department had forecast dry weather on Monday but forecast light rain in some parts of the state for the next two days. But dry weather may start again on Thursday.
The forecast for the city for Tuesday and Wednesday says: “The sky condition is likely to be partly cloudy. Maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 33°C and 24°Celsius.”
