On September 21, 2024, Chennai and Hyderabad experienced a notable shift in weather patterns, marked by significant rainfall and thunderstorms that provided much-needed relief from recent heatwaves in both cities.

In Chennai, heavy rainfall occurred overnight, with southern suburbs like Shollingnallur and Perumbakkam receiving up to 96mm of rain. The city's central and northern areas reported between 17mm to 44mm. This weather event is attributed to a developing low pressure area, supported by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and an Easterly Wave, enhancing thunderstorm activity across Tamil Nadu. Weather forecasts predict that this trend will continue over the coming days, with the influence of an Upper Air Cyclonic (UAC) circulation suggesting more rainfall is on the horizon. Local authorities are proactively desilting sewer lines to manage the anticipated challenges of the Northeast monsoon.

Meanwhile, Hyderabad is also facing significant rainfall, particularly in northern areas like Bachupally and Miyapur, gradually spreading to central and eastern regions such as Malkajgiri and Kapra. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted continued light to moderate rain for the next two days, with some areas already experiencing localized flooding and traffic congestion. The heavy downpour has led to reports of knee-deep water in certain locations, prompting local authorities to issue alerts and manage traffic disruptions effectively.

Both cities are expected to experience ongoing thunderstorms and rain, offering relief from the oppressive heat while raising concerns about waterlogging and traffic issues. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepared as the weather evolves over the coming days, marking a significant change in the seasonal patterns for both Chennai and Hyderabad.
