The severest part of the summer in Tamil Nadu, known as ‘Agni Nakshatram’ or ‘Kathiri Veyil’ started on 4th May. However, due to the low pressure formed in the Bay of Bengal near Kanyakumari, there was a week of heavy rains in Southern Tamil Nadu districts. There was light rain in the northern districts as well. This reduced the severity of the hottest part of the summer.
However, this was followed by very dry weather in the last 2 days. Vellore experience a high temperature of 105 Degrees Fahrenheit. In Trichy, it was 104 Degrees Fahrenheit. In Chennai district, it was 102 Degrees Fahrenheit. The average temperature across Tamil Nadu was 100 Degrees Fahrenheit. Apart from the heat, there were hot winds blowing across affecting the citizens including the pedestrians and 2-wheeler drivers who were forced to cover their faces to escape from the scorching Sun.
There has been a change in the weather conditions recently with swirling winds forming in the top-most atmospheric layer in the Bay of Bengal which is moving from the West.
There are prospects of light rain, especially in the coastal areas today (Wednesday, 14th May) & tomorrow (15th May).
