Chennai weather: Rain on the way, so keep those umbrellas handy!

India Dec 06, 2025

Chennai's Saturday is starting off warm and humid (23.3°C-28.2°C, with 77% humidity), but rain is expected to roll in later today.
The IMD says there's an 88% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms, especially between 4pm and 7pm—so you might want to plan your outings accordingly.

What else to know: Air quality, travel tips & next few days

Air quality was great yesterday (AQI just 22), but rain could trap some pollutants in busy spots like T. Nagar and Mount Road.
Don't forget an umbrella or even a mask if you're out!
Also, expect possible delays on main roads like Nungambakkam High Road during heavy rain.
Looking ahead, temps will remain steady (29-30°C highs), skies stay partly cloudy, and humidity remains high—so it's not sweater weather just yet!
