Chennai Weather LATEST Update: IMD Predicts Showers, Fog and Thunderstorms in Tamil Nadu; Check Forecast

According to the India Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area over the equatorial Indian Ocean and the adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal is gradually intensifying. The system is expected to move west-northwestwards, influencing weather conditions across Tamil Nadu.

As a result, light rain is likely over southern Tamil Nadu and coastal districts including Puducherry and Karaikal tomorrow. In the following two days, moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected at several places across the state. Light showers may continue in isolated locations on the 23rd and 24th.

For Chennai, partly cloudy skies are expected over the next few days. Light rain may occur in some parts of the city, especially during the later hours of the day.

In addition, light fog is likely to be observed in one or two places across northern Tamil Nadu districts during the early morning hours for the next two days. Residents are advised to remain cautious while commuting in the early hours due to reduced visibility.

Authorities have issued a cautionary advisory for fishermen. Strong winds are expected over several parts of the southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining equatorial Indian Ocean regions.

Fishermen have been advised not to venture into these sea areas until conditions improve, as rough weather and gusty winds may pose safety risks.
