CHENNAI: Cloudy skies are likely in the city on Wednesday with chances of more showers. “The sky condition is likely to be generally cloudy. Light to moderate rain is likely in some areas,” a Met department forecast said.
On Tuesday, the suburbs received more rain than the core areas. Different parts received rain ranging from drizzles to light rain with the sky remaining cloudy throughout the day. Chengalpet, Sriperumbudur, Mamallapuram and Ponneri received 1cm rain till 8.30am.
Nungambakkam recorded 1.6mm of rain and Meenambakkam 5.1mm. The day was cool and pleasant with a maximum temperature at 34.5°C in Nungambakkam and 34°C in Meenambakkam.
The rain was triggered by a cyclonic circulation lying between south Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu coast, a Met official said. “It is expected to continue for one more day,” he added.
With the monsoon weakening in Kerala, the convergence was expected in leeward region and Tamil Nadu will see convective rain, private weather blogger Pradeep John said, adding that such rain had been missing for the last three days because of upper air circulation.
The city received mild rain in the day on Monday after clouds moved in from the sea. This type of cloud movement, private weather bloggers said, is a rare occurrence in July. Usually, the city receives rain because of convective clouds triggered by the high temperature during the day.
The city has received 132.2mm rain since June 1 against the expected normal of 140.7mm, a deficit of 6%. It is expected to receive a few more spells of rain in August due to the break monsoon in the northern parts of the country.
