In the last 15 long years, this May 2021 has been the coolest in Chennai. This has been confirmed by the Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai. Mr. N. Puviarasan, director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre spoke about how in the summer season wind normally blows from north- west but in 2021 the wind sea breeze was received from east. No ground air was received. Truth is that due to this the maximum temperature didn’t cross 37 degrees Celsius until 26th May 2021.In the last 3 days.
