In Mumbai and its suburbs, the sky is likely to remain mostly clear. The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 32°C, and the minimum may stay near 22°C. Compared to other parts of the state, Mumbai and the Konkan belt continue to experience milder winter conditions.
Western Maharashtra, including Pune and Kolhapur, is now feeling the onset of winter. Pune’s minimum temperature has dropped to 16°C, while Kolhapur recorded around 19°C. Meanwhile, rainfall has completely withdrawn from all regions of the state.
