Dense fog to be present in Chennai city for the next 2 to 3 days!!
The NE winds prevailing over the sea have resulted in dense fog now in Chennai during the early morning hours. On Tuesday, the maximum temperature at Nungambakkam was 24.7 degrees Celsius. For the next 2 to 3days, cold weather would be present in Chennai and in some isolated places across the state of Tamil Nadu
It is worth noting that light to moderate easterlies or north easterlies prevail over the region in the lower tropospheric levels. This has led to moderate to dense fog in Chennai plus in its neighbourhood areas between 6:30a and 8:30am on Tuesday. The fog has also affected flights now.
It was later brought out by Regional Met Centre or RMC in Chennai that shallow fog or mist is likely to be present during the morning hours at isolated pockets in TN particularly in the coastal districts.
It must be noted that dry weather would prevail in the state and at some isolated pockets maximum temperature would be 2 degrees to 3 degrees higher than the normal from 7th of February.

This was as per extended range predictions by dynamical models. Over most parts of TN, minimum temperatures would be slightly above the normal that is between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius over the coastal and adjoining interior districts of TN.
