If the early morning spells that flooded several suburban localities were the heaviest so far this monsoon, then brace for more. Weathermen have forecast that the heaviest spells of this season will start late Thursday night.
“We can expect rain from Friday night till December 2. Rainfall on December 1 and 2 may be heavier than Thursday morning spells,” said N Puviarasan, director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre, IMD.
Experts said the easterly trough and convection will play key roles in bringing heavy rain across the state, which is likely to reduce the rain deficit and improve groundwater and reservoir levels in the city. At present, Chennai is staring at a 34% deficit.
“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 32°C and 25°C,” the IMD said while forecasting the city’s weather for the next 48 hours.
On Thursday, localities in southern suburbs such as Tambaram (146mm), Sholinganallur (78mm), Perungudi (65) and Taramani (55) got more rain compared to core city locations such as Nungambakkam (22mm), Teynampet (23mm), Kodambakkam (19mm), Broadway (21mm) and Royapuram (17mm).
The IMD official said Chennai will face another dry spell for a week after December 2 and the next round of monsoon rain will be around December 13.
