Rain spell likely this week, to keep soaring temperatures in check till Sunday in T.N. A weather system is expected to bring much-needed rainfall across Tamil Nadu, helping to moderate rising temperatures through March 22. The Regional Meteorological Centre has predicted that daytime temperatures in the state, along with Puducherry and Karaikal, will decrease by one or two degrees Celsius as the week progresses. This cooling effect is anticipated to last until Sunday, providing temporary relief from the persistent heatwave conditions. The forecast indicates that two separate weather systems will influence different regions of the state, contributing to wetter conditions. Coastal districts are set to receive light rainfall from March 20 to March 22, which could help alleviate the intense heat. However, the exact timing and intensity of the rain remain under observation, with meteorologists emphasizing that the cooling trend may not be sustained beyond the weekend. The temperature drop is expected to be gradual, with the most significant cooling likely to occur in the latter part of the week. While the rain may not be heavy, it is anticipated to provide some respite for residents in the southern part of the state. The RMC has also warned that the heatwave conditions could return if the weather systems fail to deliver consistent rainfall. This development comes as the state continues to grapple with extreme temperatures, which have been a cause of concern for public health and agriculture. The cooling trend is seen as a temporary reprieve, but experts caution that long-term solutions to address the underlying climate patterns are still necessary. The upcoming days will be closely monitored to assess the impact of the weather systems on the overall temperature trends.#tamil_nadu #puducherry #rainfall #karaikal #regional_meteorological_centre
