The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has predicted light rainfall in isolated places in Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi districts over the next two days. However, most parts of Tamil Nadu are anticipated to have dry weather conditions. In Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi, very light rain is expected today and tomorrow, while the rest of the state is likely to remain dry with no significant rainfall.
Meteorological officials attribute the brief rain spell in the southern coastal districts to minor atmospheric changes in the region. Despite the expected minimal rainfall, it may offer temporary relief from the increasing temperatures in these areas. The weather department also forecasts no significant change in maximum temperatures across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal in the upcoming days.
Weather experts advise residents to prepare for warmer conditions as summer gradually intensifies in the state. With limited rainfall expected, various districts are likely to face dry and hot weather during the daytime. In Chennai, partly cloudy weather is expected on Saturday, with maximum temperatures ranging between 34 to 35 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures between 24 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Although the skies may be partly cloudy, Chennai is not expected to receive rainfall, and the weather is likely to remain stable over the next 24 hours. Moderate humidity levels may contribute to the warmth felt during the afternoon hours. The Regional Meteorological Centre notes that such isolated rainfall activity is common during the transition from winter to summer in Tamil Nadu.
While occasional light showers occur in southern coastal districts due to localized weather patterns, most parts of the state generally stay dry during this period. The department continues to monitor weather patterns and advises the public, especially those working outdoors, to stay hydrated and take precautions against heat exposure as temperatures rise in the following weeks.
