From misty dawns in Chennai to scattered rains statewide, Tamil Nadu’s weather remains dynamic until March 1, warns the Regional Meteorological Centre in its recent advisory.
Light fog persists in early mornings over Chennai and several adjacent districts. Meanwhile, the state’s diverse regions gear up for rainfall, stemming from faded Bay of Bengal low-pressure remnants and persistent oceanic moisture.
Southern pockets and northern locales may see moderate precipitation, with Puducherry and Karaikal likely to encounter light to moderate spells. Showers could linger across Tamil Nadu up to March 1.
Shifting marine winds and elevated humidity are key drivers. Foggy conditions are projected for Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram, Salem, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Tirupattur, Vellore, and Ranipet during mid-week mornings, potentially cutting visibility on highways and rural paths.
Administrators have issued calls for vigilant driving in low-visibility zones. Temperatures will surge during days, surpassing norms by 2-3°C through February 28, highlighting the area’s climatic flux.
For those in farming and rain-sensitive sectors, keeping tabs on updates is crucial. The department commits to ongoing bulletins to navigate these changing skies effectively.
