Mostly cloudy with a 10% chance of rain. Humidity will make it feel closer to 38\u201340\u00b0C. Coastal breeze from the Bay of Bengal may offer brief relief in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday, May 1<\/strong> \u2014 High of 35.7\u00b0C. Clear skies and 0% rain chance \u2014 one of the drier days of the week. Peak heat expected between noon and 3 PM. A good day to plan any outdoor activity in the early morning or after sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday, May 2<\/strong> \u2014 High of 36\u00b0C. Slight 5% chance of rain, possibly a brief pre-monsoon shower. Mostly sunny through the afternoon. Feels significantly hotter due to the coastal humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, May 3<\/strong> \u2014 High of 36\u00b0C. Rain chance nudges back up to 10%, with the possibility of isolated thundershowers in the evening \u2014 not unusual for this time of year as the atmosphere becomes increasingly unstable ahead of the monsoon season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monday, May 4<\/strong> \u2014 High of 35.3\u00b0C. Back to dry conditions with 0% rain. Slightly cooler than the weekend peak, though still well above comfort levels for extended outdoor exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outlook beyond May 4:<\/strong> The data only extends to Monday, but based on seasonal patterns, temperatures are likely to remain in the 35\u201337\u00b0C band through mid-May, before the Southwest Monsoon&#8217;s approach begins pulling temperatures down slightly and dramatically increasing rainfall and humidity from late May or early June onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to keep in mind:<\/strong> The &#8220;feels like&#8221; temperature in Chennai at this time of year is almost always 4\u20136\u00b0C above the actual reading due to the city&#8217;s high relative humidity (typically 60\u201380% in pre-monsoon weeks). That puts the real-feel for this week between 40\u00b0C and 42\u00b0C at peak afternoon hours \u2014 the kind of heat that makes outdoor exertion genuinely risky between 11 AM and 4 PM. Staying hydrated, wearing light cotton clothing, and minimising midday exposure are all strongly advisable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current conditions: 31.5\u00b0C, cloudy.
