After spell of scattered rain and thundershower activities between April 12 and 17, the weather conditions in Maharashtra are completely dry. With this, hot and uneasy made a comeback, with day temperatures exceeding 40˚C in most parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada region.
Dry weather conditions have even led to severe heat wave conditions in parts of Vidarbha, Marathwada and Madhya Maharashtra, wherein maximum temperatures have been settling near 45˚C. In fact, Pune recorded highest maximum temperature for the season. On Tuesday, Brahmapuri recorded its maximum temperature at 47.0˚C, followed by Chandrapur 46.4˚C, Nagpur 46.3˚C, Parbhani 46.1˚C, Wardha 45.9˚C, Akola and Amravati 45.2˚C.
Now, further also we do not expect any change from the ongoing weather conditions in Maharashtra during the next 24 hours. However,Extremely Severe Cyclone Faniis travelling in West-Central and adjoining Southwest Bay of Bengal, moving closer to the coast. According to weathermen, such strong systems govern the wind pattern of the areas spanning hundreds of kilometers away. Similarly, as the cyclonic storm Fani comes closer to North Andhra Pradesh coast by May 2, we would see clouds covering parts of Maharashtra as well.
In fact, there would be change in wind direction from northwesterly to southwesterly. With change in wind pattern and clouding, temperatures are likely to see drop and heat wave conditions are expected to abate from most parts of Maharashtra. However, one or two places of Vidarbha may still reel under heat wave condition.
In fact, despite abatement of heat wave condition, day temperatures will remain high and weather conditions in Maharashtra will remain hot and uneasy.
