Several districts in Tamil Nadu are expected to have moderate morning fog in the upcoming days, leading to decreased visibility early in the day. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) forecasts misty and foggy conditions in many northern and western districts until February 12, affecting road travel in areas like Ranipet, Vellore, Tirupattur, and more.
Motorists, especially those using highways and ghat roads, are advised to drive carefully due to the reduced visibility caused by the fog. Additionally, Chennai and nearby districts such as Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu, and Kancheepuram are likely to experience light to moderate mist during the mornings.
In Chennai, the sky is expected to be partly cloudy with mild fog in some places at dawn. Despite the foggy mornings, the weather in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal will remain predominantly dry until February 14. The Meteorological Department has indicated stable atmospheric conditions, ruling out significant rainfall during this period.
Daytime temperatures are predicted to rise gradually, with some parts of the state likely to see an increase of 1 to 2 degrees Celsius by February 12, resulting in warmer afternoons. Weather experts attribute these fluctuations to clear skies during the day leading to heat buildup and cooler nights causing fog formation in the early hours.
Health officials recommend residents to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak afternoon hours. Special precautions are advised for the elderly, children, and outdoor workers. With dry conditions persisting and fog expected in various districts, misty mornings followed by warm and clear days are anticipated across Tamil Nadu in the upcoming week.
