Posted on: 26/Sep/2017 1:06:42 PM
Chennai rains have been giving the residents some good news for the past two days. Before that the city was reeling under dry weather conditions for at least four five days. Rain gods have been playing that rain game for long but it seems like the good news is expected to stay for some time now.
The last 24 hours were slightly less rainy and only light to very light rainfall activity was seen over both the observatories of the city. In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Nungambakkam observatory in Chennai witnessed 3 mm of rainfall while the Minambakkam observatory only saw traces of rainfall.
These weather conditions are attributed to the wind shear and a trough extending from west central Bay to Southwest Arabian Sea across North Tamil Nadu and South Interior Karnataka.
As per weathermen at Skymet Weather, light to moderate rains will continue for two at least to three days. Thereafter also, on and off rains will continue in patches in some areas of the city. The weather is not likely to go completely dry for at least one week.
So far, in the month of September, the city of Chennai has been able to witness 111 mm of rainfall. The monthly average rainfall in Chennai for September stands at 147.7 mm. With about four days still left in September, it looks like Chennai may be able to surpass its monthly mean.
