Westerly Winds Expected to Raise Temperatures in Chennai Starting May 1

A senior meteorologist has indicated that while temperatures are expected to rise in coastal regions, the daily onset of sea breezes is likely to mitigate some of that increase. The cooling effect of sea breezes occurs as cooler air from the ocean moves inland, providing relief in coastal areas during warmer days. This natural phenomenon can lead to a more temperate climate in these regions, despite overarching trends of rising temperatures due to climate change. Experts recommend that residents stay informed about daily weather patterns and take precautions during heatwaves, even with the anticipated cooling effects from sea breezes.
