Chennai Weather LATEST Update: Light Showers Likely Today as Temperatures Dip to Cooler Levels

Rainfall has declined across most parts of Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, over the past few days. Only a few isolated pockets received light showers in the last 24 hours, signalling a broader easing of the wet spell. Officials from the Meteorological Department indicated that the shift in easterly wind speed would bring only light to moderate rain in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal today and tomorrow, with similar isolated rainfall expected from December 10 to 13.

Chennai and its neighbouring suburbs are expected to experience partly cloudy skies with occasional light rain today. Daytime temperatures may reach around 30°C, while nighttime temperatures could dip to nearly 24°C, adding to the pleasant chill felt in the mornings and evenings.

The weather office cautioned that a cyclonic system is likely to develop over the southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal, bringing winds of 35–45 kmph and brief gusts up to 55 kmph. Fishermen have been urged to avoid venturing into these sea regions due to potentially hazardous conditions.
