Chennai sizzles again, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees Celsius

Chennai is enduring another scorching heatwave with temperatures hitting around 40 degrees Celsius. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) predicts some parts of the city might see light rain on June 17, which could bring relief after the heat is expected to taper off post-June 18. Many weather stations across Tamil Nadu recorded above-normal temperatures on Tuesday, raising concerns about the impact on health and daily activities. This intense heat wave underscores the urgent need for climate adaptation measures in urban areas.
