Chennai News Highlights, November 22, 2022: While the depression in the Bay of Bengal has been moving towards the North Tamil Nadu coast slowly, it weakened into a well-marked low-pressure area Tuesday noon, Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, head S Balachandren said. Chennai and its neighbouring districts have been experiencing cloudy and chilly weather since Monday night. “While the city experienced light showers on Monday, we can expect moderate rain this evening because of the low pressure,” Balachandren said. The maximum and minimum temperature is likely to be around 25°C and 22-23°C respectively in Chennai.

On Wednesday (November 23), light-to-moderate rain is likely to occur at a few places over north coastal Andhra Pradesh, north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, south coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalseema.
