Today should stay dry — just 12% chance of rain. Safe to leave the umbrella at home.

Chennai's primary rain comes from the northeast monsoon October–December, making it unusual among Indian cities where the southwest monsoon dominates. Cyclones forming in the Bay of Bengal are a real risk October–November and can bring extreme rainfall in short windows. The southwest monsoon (June–September) passes mostly to the west, leaving Chennai relatively dry.
