Chennai experienced its first heavy downpour of the northeast monsoon on Saturday evening, with intense rainfall lashing several parts of the city. Several areas received heavy rainfall within a few hours.

According to data from the Greater Chennai Corporation, Kargil Nagar and Tiruvottiyur received 12 cm of rainfall each by 8 p.m., followed by Kathivakkam and Tondiarpet with 9 cm each, and Ennore, Basin Bridge, and Manali with 7 cm each.

A low pressure area is likely to form over southwest Arabian sea around Monday. However, it may not bring much rainfall over Tamil Nadu, according to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC).
