Reacting to the cold, one X user wrote, “It’s freezing cold in Chennai. I’ve never experienced weather like this before. It made me to realize how grateful I should be to God for Chennai’s hot and humid climate. For years I wished Chennai’s weather to be like Western countries but not anymore.”

Nungambakkam recorded the maximum temperature of 24°C, while Meenambakkam recorded 25.1°C, against the normal maximum temperature of 29.5°C and 29.7°C. The average negative deviation is about 5°C, but people said they felt much colder and could not step out without a jacket.

Weather experts have attributed the chill to the deep depression, which weakened into a low-pressure area near the Gulf of Mannar. According to a report by Outlook India, they explain that the dense clouds approaching Chennai skies turned into drizzle bands that turn cold as they move landward, generating unusual wind chill and acceleration of heat loss - factors typically absent in Chennai's coastal climate.
