Motorists had to inch their way on many roads like Purasawalkam High Road, Nelson Manickam Road, Sardar Patel Road and Anna Salai. Mild showers during evenings may continue for two days over the city and its neighbourhood. Chennai will experience generally cloudy sky from afternoon onwards and thundershowers may occur during evenings till Saturday. The prolonged dry weather during the first fortnight of August has reflected on the monsoon rainfall over the city. Officials of the Meteorological Department noted that the deficit may reduce in the coming days as monsoon activity has not ceased.
