Chennai weather today (5 Nov 2026)

Residents and visitors in Chennai can benefit from staying informed about the current and forecasted weather conditions to plan their daily activities accordingly.

Right now it is 24.7°C in Chennai, with relative humidity of 96% and wind of 6.4 km/h.

Today: a high of 29.6°C and a low of 24.3°C, with up to 41% chance of rain and 2 mm of rainfall expected.

Tomorrow: a high of 28.9°C and a low of 23.4°C.

High humidity alongside warm temperatures can make conditions feel hotter than the thermometer suggests, and short, heavy spells of rain are common in Chennai outside of long dry stretches. Keeping half an eye on the sky during the afternoon and evening, when most of the day's rainfall tends to fall, is usually enough to avoid being caught out.
