The outlook is for partly cloudy conditions for the rest of the day today. Isolated showers have been forecast for Tamil Nadu as a whole and Puducherry.
Domestic private forecaster Skymet Weather sees partly cloudy skies getting cloudier as the day progresses and into the night.

Weather.com, an IBM Business, sees north-easterly winds entrenching their position under partly cloudy skies and peaking to 20 km/hr in speed by 3 pm with humidity tending to rise later into the evening.
According to WeatherBug, it’s a mostly sunny day out there with the temperature at 30 degrees Celsius at around 10 am (feels like 36 degrees Celsius), average humidity of 71 per cent and winds being north-easterly. Partly cloudy conditions likely into the night.
