In the next two days, Chennai is likely to witness thunderstorms with lightning and moderate to intense rain spells in some areas.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a weather alert as a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Equatorial Indian Ocean has become a well-marked low-pressure area on Tuesday. Further, the low-pressure area is expected to move west-northwestwards towards the Sri Lanka-Tamil Nadu coasts in the next 24 hours.

Scattered low and medium clouds with embedded intense to very intense convection lay over south Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. Scattered low and medium clouds with embedded moderate to intense convection lay over central Bay of Bengal, north Andaman Sea and isolated weak to moderate convection lay over North Bay of Bengal."
