Chennai residents can expect a mix of warm temperatures and intermittent rainfall on August 14, 2025, with meteorological experts forecasting daytime highs of 31.9°C and morning lows around 26.4°C. Humidity levels of 63 per cent and wind speeds reaching 25.9 km/h will make the air feel slightly heavier, while an 82 per cent chance of precipitation highlights the need for rain preparedness.
According to city weather officials, visibility remains clear at 9.1 kilometres, allowing normal outdoor activities despite showers. The breeze, ranging between 20 and 25.9 km/h, provides some relief from the humid conditions. Residents are advised to carry lightweight umbrellas or raincoats, particularly during afternoon hours when rainfall is most likely. The extended forecast indicates that the trend of warm, humid conditions will persist into the weekend. On Friday, temperatures are expected to rise to 33.4°C with an 87 per cent probability of rainfall, while Saturday and Sunday could see highs of 34.7°C and 33.9°C respectively. Early next week, Monday may bring temperatures of 33.8°C, followed by a peak of 35.6°C on Tuesday. Rainfall frequency is likely to reduce slightly, though conditions will remain warm and humid. By Wednesday, forecasts suggest drier weather with temperatures stabilising around 34.4°C.
Experts highlight that these conditions reflect Chennai’s typical monsoon patterns, combining warmth with periodic rain. Such fluctuations between sun and showers characterise the city’s climate during this season, requiring residents and city planners to remain vigilant regarding both urban mobility and public health. City climate officials emphasised that the combination of water accumulation from rainfall and high humidity could exacerbate heat stress and discomfort, particularly in densely populated areas. Adequate hydration and minimal outdoor exposure during peak afternoon hours are recommended for residents, especially the elderly and children.
Authorities also noted that rainfall and wind conditions could temporarily affect traffic flow and public transport operations. Commuters are advised to monitor local advisories, exercise caution on roads, and consider flexible schedules where possible. Municipal teams continue to maintain drainage systems and monitor low-lying areas to prevent flooding and related disruptions. The week ahead promises gradually easing humidity towards its end, offering residents some respite from sustained moisture in the atmosphere. While rainfall remains likely over the next several days, the combination of breezy conditions and warm temperatures ensures that outdoor life can largely continue with precautions.
