After being hot and sweaty for 3 weeks or more, this Vishu Day, is a pleasant surprise for Madras, that is Chennai. It was overcast in the morning, but later brightened up a little. Though we have had a few drizzles over the last couple of days, it was not much. But today is different.
A big, big Thunderstorm has moved in from Vellore and is dumping a few centimetres worth of moisture on the city. April Showers are a rare phenomenon at Chennai and today will be one of those.
OTOH, people of Chennai have to be prepared for a spell of really hot, sweltering which usually follows up these finicky thunder storms.
Here are some snapshots of the Chennai sky before the storm burst. Had to snap off a few quick snaps as the growling was ominous, and I suddenly realised that I was probably on (one of) the tallest structures around.
This is a view looking due North:
The is a view of the South East:
Does this little bit of April Showers mean a short bloom of May Flowers?
