AN unusual heat-wave-like condition is prevailing in Chennai with a temperature of 4.3 degrees Celsius above normal.
On March 6, the Meenambakkam weather station near Chennai airport recorded 37.7°C, the hottest day of 2025 in the city so far.
Weather blogger K Srikanth said it is also the highest temperature recorded as of March 6 since 2000. Also it is the third earliest instance of Meenambakkam touching 37°C in a calendar year since 1985. 2009 saw 37°C by March 1 and 1985 saw the same temperature by March 3.
