Northeast monsoon gathers momentum in Tamil Nadu; unleashes another round of downpours over Chennai
The northeast monsoon is intensifying over Tamil Nadu, bringing another series of showers to Chennai. Meteorologists say the wet spell will likely persist until 26 October 2026, after a low‑pressure system develops over the southwest Bay of Bengal off the state’s coast in the early hours of 21 October. The strengthening system may boost rainfall, leading officials to issue advisories.
