After two days of scorching heat, the city may experience a pleasant day on Monday. The meteorological department forecast say that “the sky condition is likely to be partly cloudy. Development of thunderclouds is possible towards evening.”
The city recorded 40°C on Saturday and 39°C on Sunday. The suburbs were hotter than the core areas of the city. Meenambakkam recorded 41°C on Sunday. The heat conditions in the southern and western suburbs caused convective heavy rain on Sunday in areas like Vellore. The rain, which extended close to the far suburbs of the city, is expected to cool down the day temperature in the coming days, said a met official. The maximum temperature which was hovering in the range of 36°C to 38°C for most part of last month has started to climb above 39°C this month.
However, the city may not get an immediate respite from the heat as the met department has hinted that the “maximum temperature is expected to be around be around 39°C and minimum temperature is likely to be 30°C respectively”
As the heat is trapped with less sea breeze, nights are expected to be warmer in the coming days. The forecast for the first time says that minimum temperature in the core areas of the city will be 30°C on Monday.
A met in an advisory applicable across the state said that “public are advised not to expose themselves to direct sunlight between 11am and 4pm to avoid sunstroke.”
A look at the day’s temperature variation shows that it was at its peak between 11.15am and 1pm. It dipped below 36°C after 2.30pm. However, the radiation and humidity level kept the inconvenience level high.
Online live weather tracking sites show that there was dense cloud in areas surrounding Chennai but the sky was clear over the city on Sunday.
Met officials said conditions for the onset of southwest monsoon are becoming favourable and the rains in Kerala will help in reducing the day temperature in Chennai in the coming weeks. However, many parts of the state are expected to get rain on Monday, as met department forecast says that “thunderstorm accompanied with gusty winds reaching 30kmph to 40kmph and lightning is likely to occur at Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Theni, Virudhunagar, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Tiruvannamalai districts.”
