Maharashtra Shivers: Cold Wave Grips Interior, Mumbai Feels Early Chill
18 Nov
Summary
- Eight interior Maharashtra districts are under a cold wave alert.
- Mumbai temperatures dropped significantly, with a minimum of 18.9°C.
- Interior regions face lows below 10°C, while Mumbai expects a slight rise.
Severe cold conditions have descended upon Maharashtra, with a cold wave alert issued for eight interior districts, including Dhule, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. These regions are bracing for temperatures to plummet below 10 degrees Celsius due to cold, dry winds from northern India. This intense chill is particularly affecting Madhya Maharashtra and parts of Vidarbha.
Mumbai, while experiencing a crisp morning and a minimum temperature of 18.9 degrees Celsius, is not under a cold wave warning. Clear skies are expected to persist across the state, intensifying the cold, especially during early mornings and evenings. Authorities are advising citizens in the severely affected districts to wear warm clothing.
While interior Maharashtra faces extreme cold, Mumbai and its metropolitan region, including Thane and Palghar, are forecast to see a slight increase in temperatures towards the end of the week. This shift is attributed to a change in wind patterns, offering some relief from the current cool spell.
