Chennai records day temperature of 40°C for second day
For the second consecutive day on Thursday, several places in north Tamil Nadu continued to sizzle. Searing heat may persist in northern parts on Friday too as day temperature is set to rise by two or three degree Celsius, according to the Meteorological Department. With Cyclone Yaas weakening, dry and hot northwesterlies swept through the region. The mercury level in the city crossed the 40-degree mark in Chennai for the second consecutive day. The weather station in Nungambakkam recorded 40.1 degree Celsius while Meenambakkam registered 39.6 degree Celsius. Officials of the Meteorological Department said strong northwesterly winds delayed the onset of sea breeze in coastal areas. This led to a spike in day temperatures in places like Vellore, Tirupattur and Madurai.More Related News
