Rain Forecast Across 14 Tamil Nadu Districts as Heat Rises
Weather scientists expect some rain in parts of Tamil Nadu over the next few days.
The rain is being linked to a low-pressure system near the coast.
Chennai and many nearby districts could get light or moderate showers.
Some other districts may also receive rain later in the week.
Rainfall may happen only in short spells, so some places could stay dry.
The rain may make mornings and evenings feel more comfortable.
However, daytime weather will probably remain hot and humid.
People should watch for sudden showers, drive carefully on wet roads and check local forecasts before farming activities.
A low-pressure circulation near Tamil Nadu’s coast is expected to produce scattered showers over the next two days.
Fourteen districts, including Chennai, Tiruvallur and Salem, may receive light to moderate rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.
