Chennai residents woke up to a mild and pleasant morning on November 27, 2025, with the city expecting patchy rainfall throughout the day. The temperature is forecast to range between a maximum of 28.6°C and a minimum of 24.8°C, creating comfortable conditions despite the anticipated showers.
Today's Weather Conditions and Air Quality Concerns
The current weather pattern shows moderate humidity levels at 63% with a gentle breeze reaching speeds up to 29.2 km/h. Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the day, with an impressive 86% chance of rainfall. Light showers are expected to intensify during the late afternoon and evening hours.
This comes as a potential relief for the city's air quality, which recorded a 'poor' AQI of 117 yesterday. The primary pollutants driving this poor air quality were PM2.5 levels at 64 µg/m³ and PM10 levels at 87 µg/m³, both significantly above safe limits.
Health Advisory and Practical Recommendations
With the combination of rainfall and moderate air quality, health experts recommend specific precautions for Chennai residents. Sensitive groups including the elderly, children, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions should take extra care.
Essential precautions include:
- Carrying a compact umbrella or raincoat for unexpected drizzles
- Wearing masks, particularly in high-traffic zones
- Limiting outdoor activities during peak traffic hours
- Using air purifiers in indoor spaces
- Maintaining proper ventilation at home
The current calm and dry morning conditions are suitable for outdoor activities like walking, but residents should remain prepared for changing weather patterns as the day progresses.
Weekly Weather Outlook and Pollution Prospects
Chennai's weather is set to take a wetter turn in the coming days. November 28 will continue with patchy rain and temperatures between 28.1°C and 24.6°C. The most significant rainfall is expected on November 29, with up to 40.93 mm of precipitation and temperatures dropping to 23.9°C.
November 30 will bring moderate rain and the week's coolest temperature at 21°C. The first days of December will see intermittent showers, with conditions returning to milder weather by December 3 with highs around 27.3°C.
