The Regional Meteorological Center (RMC) in Chennai has forecasted moderate thunderstorms and lightning, with rain expected in one or two locations across Chennai, Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, and 18 other districts in Tamil Nadu.
Weather blogger Pradeep John, known as the Tamil Nadu Weatherman on social media, said in a post: "For the next two hours, we can expect steady and solid rains to continue, with moments of increased intensity followed by consistent rainfall.
