The Indian Meteorological Department forecasts Chennai’s temperature to rise to 36°C and expects rainfall across Tamil Nadu in the coming days.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather advisory indicating that Chennai will experience temperatures soaring to 36°C. The forecast, released today, also signals the likelihood of rain showers across the broader Tamil Nadu region over the next few days.
Meteorologists attribute the heat spike to a high-pressure system moving over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to linger through the weekend. While the capital city braces for the scorching conditions, the rain outlook aims to provide some relief to other parts of the state.
Authorities have advised residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and take precautionary measures against heat‑related ailments. The IMD will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as the weather evolves.
The rain forecast is expected to affect districts such as Coimbatore, Madurai and Tirunelveli, potentially easing the ongoing water‑stress concerns in those areas. Citizens are urged to remain alert for any further advisories from local disaster management agencies.
