Chennai and several northern districts of Tamil Nadu are set to encounter persistent morning fog in the upcoming days. The Regional Meteorological Centre has forecasted misty conditions until February 14. Areas like Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpattu are expected to witness dense fog during early morning hours, potentially impacting visibility and causing disruptions in traffic flow, especially for commuters and motorists during peak hours.
Authorities have advised caution to drivers traveling in the early hours to ensure safety. Additionally, moderate fog is anticipated in districts such as Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, and Dindigul on Wednesday and Thursday. Weather officials have highlighted the possibility of reduced visibility in these regions, particularly along highways, rural areas, and low-lying zones.
In other areas like Salem, Erode, Namakkal districts, and the northern belt, light fog conditions are expected. Although less intense, this mist may cause minor inconvenience to early morning commuters and agricultural operations. The weather department has also forecasted moderate rainfall in southern Tamil Nadu and the Cauvery delta districts for tomorrow, offering potential relief to farmers and aiding in enhancing soil moisture levels for agricultural purposes.
Temperatures across Tamil Nadu are predicted to gradually increase in the coming days. Despite the likelihood of rain in specific regions, most parts of Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherry are anticipated to have predominantly dry weather conditions. Meteorologists have explained that the combination of morning fog, isolated rainfall, and rising temperatures signifies the seasonal atmospheric changes typical for this period.
Residents are advised to stay informed with daily weather forecasts and plan their travel accordingly. The weather department is actively monitoring the situation and will issue further advisories if there are any changes in conditions.
