Coimbatore experienced significant rainfall last night in areas like Ramanathapuram and Pothanur, while suburban areas faced stormy weather, bringing much-needed relief from the ongoing heatwave.
Coimbatore: With the Tamil Nadu region under the grip of a severe heatwave, the recent spell of rain across Coimbatore and its suburban areas has brought a wave of relief to the local populace.
The Meteorological Department had predicted isolated showers in the state, which materialized last night. Areas such as Ramanathapuram, Pothanur, Sivananda Colony, Railway Station, Race Course, and Gandhipuram in Coimbatore witnessed about two hours of intense rainfall starting around 2 AM.
Additionally, suburban regions like Anaimalai, Pollachi, Periyanayakanpalayam, and Narasimhanaickenpalayam experienced heavy showers accompanied by strong winds. This sudden change in weather has cooled down the high temperatures, creating a cooler and more comfortable environment. Residents expressed their happiness as the heat subsided, providing a respite from the intense summer heat.
Farmers also remain hopeful that if the rain continues daily, it could alleviate water scarcity issues during the Agni Nakshatram period, typically marked by peak summer heat, and aid in agriculture.
