From August 28th to September 2nd, Tamil Nadu is expected to witness rainfall for a span of six days, as per the forecasts from the Meteorological Department.

The Director of the Chennai Meteorological Research Center, P. Senthamaraikannan, issued a press release on this matter. He mentioned that today, there is a likelihood of light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning at various locations across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

Over the next 48 hours, Chennai and its neighboring suburbs are anticipated to be partly cloudy. Some parts of the city may experience light to moderate rain coupled with thunder and lightning.
