• The Chennai Meteorological Centre has reported that an atmospheric circulation over coastal Tamil Nadu and the adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal is causing light to moderate rainfall in parts of the state on 5th September
• A trough extending from South Interior Karnataka to the Gulf of Mannar is also contributing to the weather conditions. Rainfall, accompanied by thunder, lightning, and strong winds, is likely in the districts of Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, and Virudhunagar. Additionally, light rain with thunderstorms is expected in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal until 8th September. Chennai is forecasted to experience partly cloudy skies with light to moderate rain during the evening and night.

Impact & Risks

Residents in the affected districts, particularly in Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, and Virudhunagar, may experience disruptions due to thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds. Coastal Tamil Nadu is expected to see consistent rainfall, which could lead to localised waterlogging in low-lying areas. The weather conditions may also pose risks to outdoor activities and travel, especially during periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
