Day temperatures showed a significant jump on Monday as maximums in most parts of  India recorded in the thirties. According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, southern parts of northwest plains over Haryana, Delhi and West Uttar Pradesh would continue to observe hot days as maximums would hover between 35 and 37°C.

According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, these areas will remain under the influence of westerly land winds, which will keep the temperatures near or above normal during the period.

The day temperatures in the Western Himalayan region, northern parts of northwest plains over Punjab, rest of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the Indo-Gangetic plains will be better due to relatively cool northerly winds and partly cloudy to cloudy sky under the influence of the passing Western Disturbance from Jammu & Kashmir.

According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, a fresh Western Disturbance which is expected from the 23rd of March may again bring rain for a brief period over northwest plains.

Maximums in Peninsular India, like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and interior parts of Tamil Nadu will settle in the late thirties, while coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will observe day temperatures settling in the early thirties. However, some rain may be experienced in coastal Tamil Nadu and Kerala due to the weather in the Indian Ocean.
