Meanwhile, the weather in Chennai is expected to be partly cloudy. The city and its suburbs may experience light to moderate rainfall with occasional thunder and lightning during the evening or night.
IMD said the maximum temperature in Chennai is likely to be between 32 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees, while the minimum temperature may be around 26 degrees.
The Meteorological Department has advised people in sensitive areas to remain alert and avoid going to waterlogged areas.
Farmers have been urged to take precautions for the safety of their harvested crops and livestock as rain activities are likely to continue intermittently in the coming days.
The current weather conditions are due to moisture-laden winds and the presence of a low pressure trough extending over the southern peninsula, which is increasing the intensity of rainfall over the western and southern districts of Tamil Nadu.
Officials have also been directed to monitor the water level in rivers and reservoirs, especially in areas like the Nilgiris and Coimbatore, where continuous heavy rainfall may lead to landslides or flash floods.
