After hot days and water shortage, Chennai finally received rain. The much-awaited monsoon, which was expected for weeks now, arrived in Chennai on Monday.
The Tamil Nadu weatherman expects that the rains will continue for the next four-five days while ruling out any flood threat. The city had been witnessing light rains for the past three days. However, in the past 24 hours, Chennai has been lashed by heavy rains.
In a span of 24 hours, starting from 8:30 am on Sunday, the Nungambakkam observatory recorded a good 20 mm of rain. While the Minambakkam observatory did not observe any significant rainfall, adjoining areas of Chennai did see some good showers.
