Chennai saw moderate rain last night, with Nungambakkam recording 21mm and Minambakkam 7mm.

Rain is expected to continue today with an afternoon break, as a cyclonic circulation over the South Bay of Bengal intensifies the monsoon along the coast.

This system could develop into a low-pressure area in the next 48 hours, likely bringing more rain to the region in the coming week.

For Chennai, moderate rain and thundershowers are expected, with a possible slowdown on the 8th and 9th of November before intensifying again as the circulation moves closer to the Tamil Nadu coast.

Between November 11th and 15th, rain frequency and intensity are predicted to increase, with potential peak activity on the 11th and 12th, including short but heavy showers, especially in the evening and night.

This weather pattern may cause challenges for commuters due to evening downpours.
