The observatory at Nungambakkam in the city recorded 10 cm rainfall during the period, officials said.
The met office said rain or thundershowers were likely to occur at most places over coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and at many places over interior Tamil Nadu for one more day.
Chennai and neighbourhoods were likely to be cloudy with few spells of shower or thundershowers, heavy at times, the Met office said.

A total of 13 rain-related deaths were reported from across the state since October 27, police said adding most of them were due to wall and roof collapses.
