Chennaites have been experiencing bright mornings to cold breezy evenings and a short spell of rains in the middle. But experts say that the pleasant weather is neither unusual nor will it last for long. While the temperature dropped almost four degrees from normal at the beginning of February, it slowly shot up in subsequent days.
YEA Raj, Deputy Director General, Meteorological Department said, “We cannot say that it is a prolonged winter. We have checked with our previous year’s records and it is not severe. If you look at February 4 to 10, there was a drop in temperature of up to four degrees from normal, but not after that.”
Of course, rains, which happened due to the lack of uniformity in wind flow, is neither frequent in the month of February nor is it a usual weather condition. Weather experts also warn Chennaites to gear themselves for summer.
However, being located along the coast, Chennaites can take look forward to sea breeze especially during the month of May when the summer heat gets unbearable.
Summer will be terrible but there might be an evening rain or thunderstorms due to the onset of Southwest monsoons.
