Light to moderate showers are likely in some areas of the city, offering brief respite from the sultry conditions.
Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon continues to make steady progress. The RMC noted that atmospheric and oceanic conditions remain favourable for the further advancement of the monsoon over additional parts of the south Arabian Sea, the Maldives-Comorin region, the south and central Bay of Bengal, and portions of the northeast Bay of Bengal over the next two to three days.

Farmers and those dependent on rainfall for agriculture have also been advised to monitor forecasts closely as planting decisions for major crops like Kuruvai paddy may hinge on the timely onset and spread of monsoon showers.
