The temperatures of most parts of Maharashtra have been witnessing new heights these days. Almost all the regions of the state are battling with the rising mercury levels. The extent of soaring daytime highs is such that soon heatwave may grip several parts of the state.
As per Skymet Weather, most parts of Konkan & Goa and Madhya Maharashtra are presently experiencing near normal or below normal temperatures. Meanwhile, most of the stations of Vidarbha and Madhya Maharashtra are already witnessing temperatures close to the 40-degree mark.
Until a few days back, the maximum temperatures were under check due to the prevalence of cool northwesterly winds. However, the wind profile is now expected to change their direction and the cool winds that were blowing from northwest direction would get swapped by the hot easterly winds.
These hot winds are expected to reach parts of Maharashtra in the next 24 hours. The temperatures that are already in higher 30’s or close to 40 degree Celsius would take a steep rise. Thus, the soaring mercury is likely to shoot by one or two degrees further.
