The Meteorological Department has issued a forecast indicating possible showers across Chennai and its surrounding districts today.
The India Meteorological Department released an updated weather bulletin for Chennai, highlighting the likelihood of rain in the city and nearby districts later today. The forecast, posted on the official portal, outlines that scattered showers may develop as moisture-laden winds move inland from the Bay of Bengal.
Meteorologists anticipate that the rain will be intermittent, affecting parts of Chennai Corporation as well as peripheral districts such as Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur and Chengalpattu. While the intensity is expected to remain moderate, localized downpours could lead to brief periods of reduced visibility and wet road conditions.
Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution, especially during peak traffic hours, and to stay updated through local news channels and the department’s mobile alerts. Residents are also reminded to secure loose items outdoors and to avoid low‑lying areas prone to waterlogging.
The department will continue to monitor atmospheric changes throughout the day and will issue further advisories if the situation intensifies.
