A thick blanket of fog enveloped several parts of Tamil Nadu on Friday significantly reducing visibility in certain areas. The dense fog created difficulties for motorists in Thanjavur, while air travel in Chennai was also disrupted due to poor visibility.

On Friday, independent weather blogger Pradeep John, widely known as Tamil Nadu Weatherman, predicted that the foggy conditions would persist in northern Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, over the next four days. He attributed the phenomenon to temperature variations between land and sea, which lead to moisture condensation, as per Live Chennai.
