While rain is expected in several regions, the IMD has also cautioned that temperatures may remain significantly above normal in parts of interior Tamil Nadu.
Districts including Erode, Karur, Madurai, Dindigul, Virudhunagar, Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli could record temperatures up to 4°C above the seasonal average until July 27. In the rest of the state, temperatures are expected to stay close to normal levels.
The contrasting weather pattern highlights the ongoing influence of monsoon systems, bringing rainfall to some regions while leaving others under intense summer-like heat.
