Humidity to Trouble Coastal Areas

Apart from the heat, high humidity levels are expected to cause discomfort in coastal districts. Chennai and its suburbs may see temperatures rising up to 37°C. The combination of heat and moisture in the air could make conditions feel more oppressive, especially during the daytime.

Rain Likely in Delta and Western Regions

Due to a trough extending from northeast Bihar to south Tamil Nadu, light rainfall is expected until Sunday. Areas likely to receive showers include the Western Ghats districts, coastal parts of delta regions, and Ramanathapuram. These rains may offer slight relief from the ongoing heat.
