Chennai Rain Cause
According to independent weather bloggers, Tamil Nadu is seeing rain due to a weak Easterly wave, which is currently passing through the region. “Coastal TN between Delta and South TN may see some light rains under the influence of a weak Easterly wave passing through the region. Rest of the state may remain dry though with some cloudy skies,” said the Chennai Rains (COMK), which has 187.7K followers on X, formerly Twitter.
