City set to get light rain starting today

Chennai:28.11.2019

After mild rain in the city over the past two days, the monsoon seems to be picking up pacewith the weathermen forecasting light to moderate spells in the next two days. Staring this weekend, they say, heavy rain is likely across the state including in Chennai.

An IMD forecast for Thursday said the sky condition is likely to be generally cloudy. “Light to moderate rain is likely to occur in some areas. Maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 31°C and 25°C.” Experts said the consistent flow of easterlies and northeasterlies will be one of the factors for the heavy spells.

Skymet Weather in its online post said moderate to heavy rain will lash Chennai between November 29 and December 2. “Thereafter, the rain activities over Chennai will subside but the southern districts will continue to receive moderate rain with a few heavy spells until the first week of December.”

At present, Chennai is staring at a 39% deficit and Tamil Nadu at 11%. But experts are hopeful that the weekend spells may push the state’s rainfall to a surplus, while it brings the deficit in the city down. TNN
