CHENNAI: Heavy rain is expected in Chennai and the surrounding districts on Monday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

On Sunday night, heavy rain flooded several areas of the state capital, including Nungambakkam and Meenambakkam.

A steady spell of rain caused by an upper air circulation began as a drizzle on Sunday evening and progressed to heavy showers.

Weather models also showed winds shifting to the west, resulting in thunderstorms across the city and suburbs.

The heavy rain on Sunday, according to the IMD, is an indication of more thunderstorms in Chennai and its suburbs in the coming days, other than the likelihood of a downpour on Monday.

The rain has brought relief from the sweltering heat in Chennai.
