This arrival of the monsoon is a relief for Tamil Nadu, which has been enduring a prolonged period of high temperatures.\n\nDark clouds had already started to form over coastal areas such as Chennai, signaling a change in the weather. Chennai had experienced intermittent showers and a cloudy sky on October 14, 2026. The RMC expects moderate rainfall to continue through Thursday, October 15, 2026, with temperatures remaining near the normal range of 33-34°C.\n\nThe southwestern monsoon is forecast to completely retreat from India on October 15, 2026. The RMC has anticipated heavy to very heavy rainfall over isolated areas in several coastal and Western Ghats districts on the day. Similar rainfall patterns are likely to persist in several interior districts until October 20, 2026. The wet spell is anticipated to lower temperatures to more comfortable levels starting from Friday, October 16, 2026.",
