Chennai Weather and Rain Forecast
The weather forecast for Chennai on Sunday indicates a daytime high of 34°C, with real-feel temperatures likely to hover around 38°C due to high humidity levels. As this is an afternoon start, the match will be played during the peak heat of the day.
The sky is expected to remain 'mostly sunny' throughout the afternoon, according to meteorological reports. While a minimal 5 percent chance of precipitation exists, it is insufficient to suggest any threat of a rain-induced delay or a shortened game.
Humidity levels are predicted to be around 59 percent to 65 percent, which will add to the physical toll on the players during the first innings. A steady sea breeze from the south, travelling at approximately 15 mph, may provide some relief to the spectators in the stands, though it is unlikely to significantly cool the playing surface.
Crucially, because this is an afternoon fixture, the 'dew factor', which often hampers bowlers in evening matches, will be non-existent. This lack of moisture on the grass should favour the spin bowlers on what is traditionally a balanced to slow surface at Chepauk.
