“Chennai Weather Warm but Air Quality Poor”

Chennai is expected to have a bright, sunny, and warm day on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. The temperature is likely to reach a high of 27.4°C during the day and drop to around 19.9°C at night, making it a pleasant day overall.

However, air quality in the city remains a concern. Yesterday, pollution levels were recorded as “poor”, and experts warn that the same conditions may continue today, especially during morning and evening peak traffic hours. Residents are advised to take precautions, such as wearing masks when traveling near busy roads, to reduce exposure to harmful air particles.

No rain is expected today, so people can enjoy outdoor activities. Experts suggest planning any outdoor work or exercise during the early morning or late evening when the temperature is cooler and air pollution is slightly lower.

City authorities continue to monitor pollution levels and urge commuters to be careful, particularly those with respiratory problems, children, and elderly citizens. Despite the sunshine and warm temperatures, safety precautions are important to stay healthy.
