Morning cold has increased in many parts of Maharashtra. Minimum temperatures have dropped across the state in the middle of November. Cities such as Pune, Nashik, Jalgaon and Nagpur are feeling a sharper chill in the air than before, as cold winds from north India affect the local weather.

North Maharashtra recorded some of the lowest temperatures. The minimum in Nashik was about 13.9 degrees Celsius, while Jalgaon recorded about 14 degrees Celsius. Ahilyanagar recorded 16.3 degrees Celsius.

In western Maharashtra, the morning was cold early on, and fog was also seen in parts of Pune and Satara. The minimum temperature in Pune was about 14.3 degrees Celsius and in Satara 14.4 degrees Celsius. Other parts of the region were somewhat warmer: Sangli recorded 17 degrees Celsius, Solapur 17.3 degrees Celsius and Kolhapur 17.8 degrees Celsius.

The mercury has also fallen in Vidarbha. Nagpur recorded a minimum of about 13.4 degrees Celsius, while Amravati recorded about 15.9 degrees Celsius.

The figures show that the cold is not confined to one part of the state but is being felt in many areas. People who leave home early in the morning will notice the difference more, as winter is setting in gradually.
