Today could see some isolated rains over peninsular India with a possibility of heavy rains over one or two places in Rayalseema & Telangana Region. South Interior Karnataka, North Interior Tamil Nadu could also see isolated rains due to the interaction of warm dry air and moist air from the Bay.  The dipping Western Disturbance is expected to aid this interaction and possibly create hailstorm rains in a place or two.

In the meanwhile Coastal Tamil Nadu could see isolated rains due to moisture incursion from Easterlies.  One of two places in North Coastal Tamil Nadu could also see light rains.  Chennai could see cloudy weather right through the day, don’t be surprised if we get a spell or two of rains in one or two areas.
