Chennai, March 11 || Tamil Nadu is expected to experience a gradual rise in summer heat, with the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai forecasting an increase of up to 3 degrees Celsius in maximum temperatures across several parts of the State, starting Thursday.
The advisory comes as weather conditions across the region begin shifting toward a more typical pre-summer pattern.
According to the Chennai Meteorological Department, most parts of Tamil Nadu are likely to experience dry weather in the coming days, with temperatures gradually climbing until March 14.
The department indicated that the maximum temperature in several districts may increase by around 3 degrees Celsius above the normal levels, signalling the steady intensification of the summer season across the State.
Meteorologists attributed the prevailing weather pattern to an atmospheric circulation currently present over the southwest Bay of Bengal.
