Heat wave has tightened its grip over Maharashtra, with mercury soaring to new levels everyday. Thursday saw mercury soaring beyond 44 at several places. In fact, Chandrapur was seen battling severe heat wave conditions where mercury settled at 45.2.
Akola recorded 44.3, followed by Amravati 44.2, Parbhani 43.8, Nagpur 43.5, and Adilabad 43.3.
No changes were seen in the hot weather conditions om Friday as well, as the day remained extremely hot. The reason behind this can be attributed to the dry and hot northwesterly winds which have been running from hotter regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Slowly and steadily, these warm weather conditions would also cover coastal parts of the state as well. In the next 2-3 days, Mumbai would see temperatures soaring to 38., making weather unbearable on account of high humidity.
There are chances of dust storm and thundershowers likely during the evening hours over few parts od Vidarbha such as Amravati, Bhandara, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Gondiya, Nagpur, Wardha and Yavatmal. However, these pre-Monsoon activities would not bring any relief and that it would be only momentary one only.
Skymet Weather predicts that there is no escape from the heat wave during the next 3-4 days.
We can expect some relief from April 16, as a trough is likely to form which would be running across Maharashtra. This trough would give scattered rains, which would in turn drop the mercury.
