S. Balachandran, Director, Area Cyclone Warning Centre mentioned: Sporadic rains are here because of the east bearing humid air in south regions. In view of this, northeast monsoon has commenced. In the next 24 hours, many parts of the State will receive light showers and a few interior areas may receive heavy rain. In Chennai, intermittent rainfall is expected over the next 24 hours.
