The drop in temperatures can be attributed to the cold winds from the north that have brought thewinter chill back to Maharashtra. These northerlies are likely to drop thetemperatures in Nashik, Pune, Mumbaiand Jalgaon. A drop of 1-2 degrees has been anticipated. The meteorological division of Vidarbha too may witness a marginal fall in its temperatures during the next 24 hours.
The minimums are expected to settle below normal until February 7. Thereafter, the winds may again start blowing from the southeast direction leading to an increase in the morning and night temperatures. These winds would be traveling via Interior Maharashtra and Interior Karnataka, wherein the temperatures are already high.
In the meantime, a Confluence Zone is expected to form overVidarbhaand adjoining parts of Chhattisgarh, say after next 24 hours.
