Posted on: 31/May/2017 6:43:27 PM
Chennai remained dry despite the interior regions of Tamil Nadu witnessing on and off showers. Apart from observing a few light traces of rains, Chennai has in majority remained dry which in a way failed to cheer up Chennaites.
As per Skymet Weather, at present also the warm and humid weather is likely to continue over Chennai. This is all due to the wind pattern that took a u-turn. Presently, southerly and southwesterly winds are prevailing over Chennai and adjoining regions. Since these winds are moist and warm in nature, they will fail to give any rains over the area.
On account of the absence of rains, the temperatures will also continue to be on a higher side. The afternoon is expected to be hot and humid, however, the evening will still be pleasant and comfortable. Humidity will be high but partly cloudy sky is expected to prevail.
Though rains as of now in Chennai is not foreseen, but rare chances of thundercloud development cannot be ruled out completely. Rainfall in true sense will commence in the first week of June, with the onset of Monsoon.
Skymet Weather further reiterates that spanning from June 5 and June 10, Southwest Monsoon is expected to cover almost the entire Kerala state along with Tamil Nadu, parts of Madhya Maharashtra and Konkan and Goa, Andhra Pradesh and remaining parts of northeastern states and some parts of West Bengal.
