Temperatures to Rise over TN

Monsoon is likely to turn inactive for the next 5 to 6 days after a week long wet spell, courtesy “Cyclone Komen”. Active super typhoon in the West Pacific and lack of disturbance in northern Bay of Bengal are collectively leading to a short break like scenario. We will still see few patches of rains over coastal Karnataka, west and extreme northern parts of the country for the next 2 to 3 days. With the monsoon moving into a dormant state in the coming days, temperature may see a sharp rise all along Karnataka, Rayalaseema, Tamilnadu, AP and adjoining east coastal states for a period of one week. Thunderstorm activity is likely to increase over north coastal Tamilnadu & North interior Tamilnadu.

Chennai – Slightly uncomfortable day with temp settling close to 36-37 C . Thundershowers expected by late evening.

Coimbatore – Cloudy day expected with temperatures near 31-32 C. Scattered rains possible in one or two places.

Madurai – City continues to be very warm at 38-39 C. Evening thunderstorms likely in one or two places.
