After a few spells of night rain, most parts of the city are likely to have a dry spell that may last a few days, while some parts may get light rain.

Though it did not rain on Saturday and Sunday, weather remained pleasant. On Sunday, Nungambakkam recorded maximum temperature of 34.1 degrees Celsius and minimum temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. Meenambakkam recorded maximum temperature of 33.6degrees Celsius and minimum temperature of 26.8 degrees Celsius.

The Met department forecast the next two days for cloudy skies. The forecast said: “The sky condition is likely to be generally cloudy. Light rain is likely to occur in some areas.”

The dip in day temperature may bring down chances of rain at night, said a Met official. But some parts of the city may experience rain close to the next weekend.

Weather bloggers said there could be rain in the intervening night of July 31 and August 1. However, it is only a likelihood and conditions might change, said a Met official. An inference by the Met department shows “a cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood and a low pressure area likely during the next two to three days.” It is not likely to bring rain to the city, and may prevent rain by impacting moisture and wind pattern in the south.

Since Monday is likely to be cloudy, the maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 35 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius respectively. The city received short spells of convective rain in June and July and is expected to get a few more spells in August. The city has received 247.5mm rain since June 1.
