Chennai is experiencing decent rainfall as a massive ball of cloud has formed over North Tamil Nadu. Today marks the beginning of this weather pattern, with intermittent rains expected throughout the day. While there will be breaks during the daytime, the peak times for rainfall will be during the nights and early mornings. However, when a depression approaches the coast, rains could occur continuously throughout the day.
The rains will come in spells, and despite some wet conditions, it is safe for kids and office-goers to head to school and work today. There may even be some sunshine during the day, followed by sudden bursts of rain.
Key Dates for Very Heavy Rains: Stalling and Slow Movement
The depression is predicted to approach the Chennai coast around the 16th of October. The 16th and 17th are critical dates to watch for very heavy rainfall.
