Rainfall to intensify in interior places, likely to keep temperatures moderate in T.N.
The India Meteorological Department is expecting the monsoon to begin retreating from parts of the country from September 19
Tamil Nadu is poised to experience intensified rainfall in its interior regions, which may keep temperatures moderate, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC). A weather system has been keeping the Southwest monsoon active over the state, and it is expected to sustain the wet spell, providing much-needed relief from the high temperatures.
The RMC predicts that heavy rainfall will continue in isolated areas, with gusty winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph in six districts, including Nilgiris and Ranipet. Interior districts such as Madurai, Tiruchi, and Karur are also forecasted to receive moderate rainfall. This wet weather is likely to prevent temperatures from rising further in the affected areas, which have been experiencing sweltering heat.
The monsoon is expected to begin retreating from certain parts of the country by September 19, while the RMC anticipates the State to witness intermittent rain spells, with moderate temperatures, until the end of the month. September is typically the rainiest month of the monsoon in Tamil Nadu, and another weather system is expected to form the following week, helping to keep temperatures under control.
In coastal areas like Chennai, the early onset of sea breeze by noon hours leads to moisture incursion into the land, contributing to humid weather, though it does not often translate to widespread rainfall.
