Temperature levels high as monsoon remains subdued in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu is experiencing high temperatures as the Southwest monsoon remains subdued across the state. Meteorological officials expect dry weather to continue, with only isolated light rainfall in the Western Ghats.
Why it matters
The lack of monsoon rainfall impacts local agriculture and public health due to prolonged heatwaves in coastal regions.
A few days into July, many places, particularly the coastal region, continue to sizzle with higher temperatures as the Southwest monsoon remains subdued over the State. With rainfall expected to be largely confined to the Western Ghats region till July 13, dry weather may prevail over most parts of the State.
