Chennai
Chennai is the capital of the state of Tamil
Nadu and is located on the Coromandel Coast of
the Bay of Bengal. With an estimated population
of 7.06 million (2007), it is the fourth largest
metropolitan city in India and the 32nd largest
metropolitan area in the world. The city was
established in the 17th century by the British,
who developed it into a major urban center and
naval base.
Chennai is the third largest commercial and
industrial centre in India. It is considered to
be the automobile capital of India, with a major
percentage of the country’s automobile industry
having a base in the city. Chennai is the
second-largest exporter of IT/ITES services in
India, behind Bangalore, and is a base for the
manufacture of hardware and electronics, with
many multinational corporations setting up
plants in its outskirts. The city is served by
an international airport and two major ports; it
is well connected to the rest of the country by
five national highways and two railway
terminals.
Chennai is located at [show location on an
interactive map] 13.04° N 80.17° E on the
southeast coast of India and in the northeast
corner of Tamil Nadu. It is located on a flat
coastal plain known as the Eastern Coastal
Plains. The city has an average elevation of 6
metres (20 feet), its highest point being 60 m
(200 ft). Two rivers meander through Chennai,
the Cooum River (or Koovam) in the central
region and the Adyar River in the southern
region. Both rivers are heavily polluted with
effluents and trash from domestic and commercial
sources.
Climate
Chennai lies on the thermal equator and is also
coastal, which prevents extreme variation in
seasonal temperature. For most of the year, the
weather is hot and humid. The hottest part of
the year is late May and early June, known
locally as Agni Nakshatram ("fire star") or as
Kathiri Veyyil, with maximum temperatures around
38–42 °C (100–107 °F). The coolest part of the
year is January, with minimum temperatures
around 19–20 °C (66–68 °F). The lowest
temperature recorded is 4.8 °C (40.64 °F) and
highest 45 °C (113 °F) (30 May 2003).
The average annual rainfall is about 1,300 mm
(51 inches). The city gets most of its seasonal
rainfall from the north-east monsoon winds, from
mid-September to mid-December. Cyclones in the
Bay of Bengal sometimes hit the city. Highest
annual rainfall recorded is 2,570 mm in 2005.
The most prevailing winds in Chennai is the
Southwesterly between the end of May to end of
September and the Northeasterly during the rest
of the year.
