In a departure from the usual winter weather patterns, the State of Maharashtra is currently experiencing dry conditions, further delaying the anticipated onset of winter. As residents eagerly await the traditional winter chill, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reports minimal changes in the minimum temperatures over the next week.
Unseasonal Weather Trends: The beginning of the new year witnessed unseasonal rain and cloudy skies across Maharashtra. Despite the passage of time, dry conditions prevail throughout the state, presenting an unusual weather scenario for this time of the year.
Influence of Western Disturbance: The Western Disturbance, known for its cold wind flow, continues to impact the western Himalayan region. However, its influence on Maharashtra remains minimal, with no active meteorological system currently affecting the state. The absence of significant weather systems contributes to the persistence of dry conditions.
Minimum Temperatures Show Modest Decline: While the wait for winter continues, the minimum temperature is expected to drop only slightly in the upcoming days. Recent temperature recordings indicate Jalgaon with the lowest minimum temperature in the state at 9.9 degrees Celsius, followed by Aurangabad at 10.2 degrees Celsius, Nashik at 11.1 degrees Celsius, Nagar at 11.5 degrees Celsius, and Yavatmal at 12.0 degrees Celsius.
Regional Temperature Averages: The minimum temperature averaged at 13.0 degrees Celsius in Vidarbha, 14.0 degrees Celsius in Marathwada, 13.0 degrees Celsius in Central Maharashtra, and 20.0 degrees Celsius along the coastal areas.
As Maharashtra continues to experience an unusual weather pattern, residents are advised to stay updated on the evolving conditions while patiently awaiting the arrival of the anticipated winter chill.
