Thereafter, light rain and thundershowers can be expected over parts of North Madhya Maharashtra region. However, the activity would be patchy in nature, occurring at isolated places. These activities are anticipated to continue until February 28 or March 1.

No significant fluctuations in the temperatures profile of the region. But a drop by 1-2 degrees in the maximums can be predicted.

Skymet Weather also reiterates that this is the favorable period for hailstorm activities and thus isolated hailstorm over North Madhya Maharashtra including Jalgaon, Nashik, and Malegaon cannot be ruled out.

Let us see its impact on agriculture of Madhya Maharashtra:

Farmers in Madhya Maharashtra are advised to continue harvesting of Jowar, Wheat, and Safflower. Farmers in North Madhya Maharashtra are requested to be cautious due to the forecast of thundery activities as crops such as Grapes, Pomegranate, Mango, Guava, and vegetables may get affected.
