There will be disappointments for Chennaites because the showers that have cooled the city and its suburbs over the last week are likely to take a brief break for the next couple of days.
This week, monsoon activity is expected to be subdued over many parts of the State, including Chennai. However, light showers over the city’s neighborhoods have not been ruled out.
But city residents who are thirsting for water do have reason to cheer, as more showers are expected later in August. Meteorological department officials said the city is expected to receive its usual 13-14 cm of rains then, higher than what was expected in June and July.
