Chennai experienced much needed relief from the intense heatwave as heavy rains lashed the city on Tuesday night.

The downpour brought down temperatures, offering respite to residents who had been struggling with scorching conditions.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more showers in the coming days due to a change in wind patterns and moisture influx from the Bay of Bengal.

Several areas in the city reported waterlogging and traffic delays. Citizens are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions.

The rains are expected to continue intermittently throughout the week, bringing temporary relief from the heat.
