According to Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and adjoining area persists. In addition to this, the moist southwesterly and southerly winds are blowing over Vidarbha region. Moreover, a trough is also extending from Madhya Pradesh to South Kerala across Vidarbha and Karnataka.
The amalgamation of all these weather systems is expected to increase the minimum temperatures over both Vidarbha and Marathwada.
