The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has forecast that Northeast monsoon rainfall may commence over the southern peninsula from Thursday (October 15, 2026).

This comes as welcome news to large parts of Tamil Nadu that have sweltered through a prolonged spell of warm weather. Dark clouds had already begun gathering over coastal parts of the State like Chennai, signalling a shift in weather conditions.

Chennai experienced intermittent showers and a cloudy sky on Wednesday (October 14, 2026). Moderate rainfall is expected to continue on Thursday (October 15, 2026), with the temperature likely to remain close to the normal range of 33-34°C
