Tamil Nadu is expected to witness a gradual increase in daytime temperatures in the upcoming days, with the Regional Meteorological Department projecting a rise of up to 2 degrees Celsius above normal levels until February 11. The weather forecast indicates dry conditions across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, with no significant rainfall anticipated for at least a week.
Officials have noted that the prevailing weather pattern suggests stable and dry atmospheric conditions, leading to a steady elevation in maximum temperatures. While daytime temperatures are predicted to be higher than usual, early mornings in various districts will continue to experience foggy weather. An advisory has been issued, mentioning that moderate mist and fog are likely during the early hours in nine districts, including Nilgiris, Dindigul, Salem, Erode, and Krishnagiri.
Reduced visibility due to fog during the morning hours may impact motorists and commuters, especially on highways and rural roads. In Chennai, the sky is forecasted to be partly cloudy in the coming days, with light mist expected during the early mornings followed by warm and humid conditions as the day progresses. The absence of active weather systems like low-pressure areas or cyclonic circulations has led to dry continental winds prevailing in the region, limiting cloud formation and rainfall while allowing temperatures to gradually increase.
Residents, particularly children, the elderly, and individuals working outdoors, are advised to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours. Drivers are also cautioned to be careful during foggy mornings to prevent accidents. With dry weather persisting and temperatures rising, Tamil Nadu is likely to experience typical late-winter warmth, signaling the transition towards hotter pre-summer conditions in the days ahead.
