The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall in the hilly areas of Virudhunagar, Theni, and Dindigul districts on Monday. Meanwhile, northern Tamil Nadu is expected to remain mostly dry. Southern Tamil Nadu and regions along the Western Ghats may see light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms and lightning.
In the higher-altitude zones of Virudhunagar, Theni, and Dindigul, heavy rainfall is anticipated at a few spots during the day. Conversely, northern Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, and Puducherry are likely to have dry weather. The IMD has stated that significant rainfall is not expected in these areas.
Weather officials have forecast a slight increase in maximum temperatures in parts of northern Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Temperatures in these regions could rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the next 24 hours. However, southern Tamil Nadu is expected to maintain relatively stable temperatures.
Chennai is projected to have partly cloudy skies with maximum temperatures ranging from 37 to 38 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures around 27 to 28 degrees. Residents can expect a warm and humid day. Despite the rain outlook in the south, no specific warnings have been issued for fishermen along the Tamil Nadu coast, indicating safe conditions for fishing activities.
Authorities advise caution for residents in hilly areas susceptible to waterlogging or sudden weather changes. Commuters and travelers heading to the Western Ghats districts are urged to stay informed about local weather updates. The IMD is closely monitoring weather developments and will provide necessary updates.
