Chennai:08.09.2019

The city may have experienced dry weather for the last two days, but going by the weatherman’s forecast, there could be light to moderate rain in some parts for the next two days.

According to the Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, “The sky condition is likely to be generally cloudy. Light to moderate rain is likely to occur in some areas during evening or night.”

Days are cloudy but also a lot warmer. On Saturday, temperature rose to 36.1°C in Nungamakkam and 36°C in Meenambakkam, about 1.6°C and 1.3°C above normal.

Experts said good spells of rain could be expected beginning next week and after September 15, when the southwest monsoon may reach the break period season and eventually begin withdrawing.

If the city’s water crisis eased in the last few weeks, it’s because of the effect of the southwest monsoon that brought convective rain in excess of 21% to the city between June 1 and September 7.

Weather blogger Pradeep John said the rain this season improved groundwater levels.

“With great rains in August, the groundwater has improved in the city except for north Chennai regions of Madhavaram and Thiru-vi-ka Nagar where the rains were less. With good spells of rains expected in city from 9th to 17th September, we can expect further improvement of groundwater.”
