As a result, thunder, lightning, rain with gusty winds is very likely at isolated places over Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, Marathwada, Madhya Pradesh on 26-27.”

There has also been a decrease in minimums in other cities where IMD regularly tracks temperature trends. A minimum temperature of 13.9°C was recorded in Lohegaon, Pune city, which is almost one degree below the seasonal average.

In addition, IMD predictions indicate that until the end of the month, minimum temperatures in Shivajinagar are probably going to be between 11 and 12°C, while they might be between 13 and 14°C in Lohegaon.

According to an independent weather forecaster, dry north/northeasterly winds are occurring over portions of Maharashtra as a result of the post-western disturbance (WD) effect, which is resulting in clear skies. This lowers the temperature at night by allowing heat to escape from the Earth’s surface.
