Signs of winter are beginning to appear in Maharashtra as the weather changes gradually. According to the latest forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the weather in most parts of the state will remain mainly dry and clear over the next few days. The cold is likely to intensify as minimum temperatures fall.

The department said skies are very likely to remain mainly clear over Konkan-Goa, Central Maharashtra and Marathwada on all three days, November 14, 15 and 16. There is no chance of rain during this period. Farmers will be able to complete threshing and other farm work without interruption. With the weather fully clear and dry, the sun will feel hot, but mornings will be pleasant.

On maximum temperatures, the department said there will be no major change in daytime temperatures over Maharashtra and adjoining Gujarat over the next four to five days. Daytime temperatures are likely to remain steady.

On minimum temperatures, the department said night temperatures in Maharashtra will not change much in the next 24 hours. After that, minimum temperatures are expected to fall gradually by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius over the next three days. The drop will increase the cold in the state, and people will begin to shiver.
