The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts dry weather in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal for the next two days due to changes in the easterly wind pattern. While no widespread rainfall is anticipated, residents are warned about early morning fog, slightly lower night temperatures in some areas, and strong coastal winds. Light mist or fog may form in isolated pockets during the early morning hours across the mentioned regions.
The IMD expects minimal change in minimum temperatures in most parts of the state, but interior regions, especially higher elevations, may see night temperatures 2 to 3 degrees Celsius below normal until Sunday. The Nilgiris district and Kodaikanal hill region in Dindigul district are highlighted for cold conditions. Mist or frost-like conditions may occur in some locations, affecting visibility and early-morning travel.
Chennai and its suburbs are likely to have partly cloudy weather with isolated light rainfall in the early morning. The maximum temperature in the city is expected to be around 30-31 degrees Celsius, with a minimum temperature of approximately 23 degrees Celsius. The Weather Department issued a marine advisory for the southern coast of Tamil Nadu, the Gulf of Mannar, and the Comorin Sea region, warning of strong surface winds and rough sea conditions.
Authorities advise caution to residents, fishermen, and farmers, emphasizing the importance of following official weather updates closely. Continuous monitoring by the IMD is ongoing, with further updates to be provided if significant weather changes occur.
