==================
August 2025 has turned out to be a historic month for Chennai. For the first time ever, the city has recorded three 100+ mm events in a single month (on August 22, 23 and 31). Such a sequence has never occurred in the city’s history.
🌧️ 31st August Rains – A Cloudburst in North Chennai
------------------------
The 24-hour radar rainfall accumulation up to 8.30 am and rainfall recorded highlights the sheer intensity of rains over North Chennai. Residents reported that it felt like “waterfalls from the sky.”
🔎 Cloudburst or Not? – Yes, it qualifies.
---------------------------
As per IMD’s definition, a cloudburst is rainfall of 100 mm or more within an hour over a small area (20–30 sq. km). The radar data and station records confirm that some pockets of North Chennai received well above this threshold, making it a classic cloudburst event.

-----------
Chennai’s August normal: 140 mm. Nungambakkam (city station) has crossed 200 mm this month.
This month will go down as one of the most exceptional Augusts in Chennai’s rainfall history.

Had a fruitful meeting with President Xi Jinping in Tianjin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit. We reviewed the positive momentum in India-China relations since our last meeting in Kazan. We agreed on the importance of maintaining peace and tranquility in border areas and reaffirmed our commitment to cooperation based on mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity.
