Chennai weather today (6 Nov 2026)

Understanding the current weather conditions in Chennai is essential for making informed decisions about daily activities, especially during periods of unpredictable rain and high humidity.

Right now it is 26.7°C in Chennai, with relative humidity of 84% and wind of 7.7 km/h.

Today: a high of 29.4°C and a low of 25.1°C, with up to 73% chance of rain and 4.8 mm of rainfall expected.

Tomorrow: a high of 28.7°C and a low of 24.4°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.
