What a spell that was!! 50-70 mm over suburbs and parts of North Chennai followed by 20-40 mm over parts of Central & south Chennai!! Proper widespread show this SWM season so far. Hopefully many more to come in the coming days. Synoptic induced thunderstorms are always special.

Next 24-48 hrs could possibly be the best window for more thunderstorms in KTCC belt including #Chennai along with north interior #TamilNadu and #Delta belt. UAC forming in Central BOB would give us the perfect recipe for good widespread thunderstorm activity. Strong vorticity,

Severe bands parked off #Kerala & #Karnataka coastline!! With UAC forming in Bay of Bengal, south west coast is hyperactive as LLJ is pumping vigorous amount of moisture. Need to keep an eye out for very heavy to extreme spell of rainfall happening in that belt over the next few

Time to keep an eye on the severe thunderstorms that brewing W/SW of Chennai!! Wind flow is good all we need is storms to develop, flank more creating more pop ups and not die in the first place. #Chennairains #Chennai #Thunderstorms

Rare to see Chennai radar active this time of the day!! All because of the developing monsoon low in head BOB waters. Overcast conditions prevailing with north of Chennai & border of AP seeing moderate rains. Signs of monsoon getting active again. #Monsoon2025 #SWM2025

Radar switched off again, but heavy rains are in parts of Chennai with gusts! Monsoon has activated again. These are typical monsoon showers as these cells cannot intensify further as wind flow in mid-level will be pretty strong for storms to bloom. Enjoy these monsoon-type

Looks like first proper break phase ahead this monsoon next week as the monsoon trough is expected to get locked over the #Himalayan foothill region, disrupting the monsoon flow over with below-normal rains expected over core monsoon belt. You can notice the LLWJ also getting

While there are 1000 reasons not to believe GFS, let this be the 1001st 😂 Hope people don’t fall to such long range forecasts. Yes, a UAC is expected to form giving us widespread thunderstorm rains, but a strong low/WML hitting coastal TN as forecasted by these models is no way

Over the next 3/4 days, we may see weakening of monsoon rains as the axis shifts northwards towards the Himalayan foothills. The current satellite image doesn’t look promising, as indications of a break phase are already visible. A fresh northward-moving pulse is needed to

Official agency SWM tally so far: IMD Nungambakkam - 268.8 mm IMD Meenambakkam - 107.5 mm While Central & northern parts of Chennai has been rocking, south Chennai has performed very poor so far this season. 2 months left and need a big push to reach normal. #Chennairains
