Chennai rains have become quite intense for the past few days. So much so that the city has been witnessing heavy rains for the past three days. While the rains were in three digits two days ago, there has been some reduction in the intensity of rains.
The last 24 hours were also similar as Chennai did record some good showers. In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Nungambakkam observatory witnessed a good 41 mm of rainfall. Meanwhile, moderate showers were witnessed at the Meenambakkam observatory to the tune of 24 mm.
These rains can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which is over Sri Lanka and adjoining Southwest Bay of Bengal. Moisture incursion has been taking place over the region on a constant basis from the Bay of Bengal which has resulted in heavy rains over the region.
