The weekend will see a mix of showers and cloudy skies in Chennai and its neighbouring areas. On Friday, the day temperature dipped by several notches in Nungambakkam and Meenambakkam, with weather stations recording 32.1 degrees Celsius and 32.8 degrees Celsius respectively.

Several areas received up to 1 cm rain till Friday evening. While this has brought cheer to residents, water logging in some areas such as Mogappair has left them concerned over the upcoming northeast monsoon.

According to the officials at the Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area, formed over west-central Bay of Bengal off north Andhra Pradesh coast, has influenced rain over the State, particularly the northern parts. The department forecasts that rain or thundershowers are likely to occur in a few places over Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Chennai may experience a cool weekend with thundershowers and the day temperature is set to be around 34 degrees Celsius till Sunday.
