Heavy Rains with Thunderstorms Lash Chennai and Suburbs; More Nighttime Showers Expected!
Heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed various parts of the city and its suburbs on Wednesday night.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has predicted that moderate to heavy rain is likely to continue over the northern coastal districts of the state - Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpattu - for the next two to three hours.
The rainfall has been attributed to a change in wind patterns and increased moisture levels from the sea.
Several areas in Chennai, including Tondiarpet, Broadway, Egmore, Anna Salai, OMR, Ambattur, Ekkaduthangal, Kodambakkam, Guindy, Porur, and Tambaram, experienced heavy showers along with thunderstorms and lightning from Wednesday evening.
The weather department has also forecast more nighttime showers in the coming days.
