Mercury soars again

CHENNAI: The mercury level in the city soared again to 40 degree Celsius on Wednesday, marking the ninth such day in the first half of this month.

At the Chennai Airport, it was the 11th day with the maximum temperature crossing the 40-degree-celsius mark.

The Meteorological Department says this is because of the delayed onset of sea breeze. The hot spell may soon come to an end as the southwest monsoon is set to progress further. Once this happens, Chennai will also get showers. In June, the city normally receives five cm of rain.
