Today's weather in Chennai: Rain chances, wind and humidity
Monday began with warm temperatures but transformed by afternoon as several areas, including Mylapore, Chintadripet, Anna Nagar, Adyar, and Chepauk, received sudden rainfall starting around 2:30 p.m. These showers caused slow traffic on major roads and waterlogging on stretches like Jawaharlal Nehru Salai. Thanks to the rain and overcast skies, the daytime temperature dropped sharply to 30°C by 4 p.m., providing much relief from the earlier heat. Humidity remains high, and winds are gentle, contributing to the sticky weather conditions.
