Several regions across Tamil Nadu, including Chennai and its suburbs, witnessed moderate to heavy rainfall, bringing welcome relief from the scorching summer heat.
The overnight showers that swept through Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, and other districts caused a sudden drop in temperatures, significantly easing residents' discomfort. The Monday morning rain caught many office-goers off guard during their commute.
However, the consistent downpour in areas such as Sankarapuram in Kallakurichi district resulted in paddy fields submerged across approximately 500 acres. According to the IMD, light to moderate rain with thunderstorms and lightning is forecasted to continue, with isolated heavy showers expected in key districts over the coming days.
