Mumbai, Pune sweat in heat as thundershowers likely in Nagpur, Vidarbha

Maharashtra is set for mixed weather in the last week of October. Heat and humidity may trouble people in Mumbai and Pune, while thunderstorms with lightning are likely in parts of Vidarbha, including Nagpur. Residents should keep an eye on the local forecast for their city.

Mumbai and surrounding areas are expected to be hot and humid around October 28. Strong sunshine during the day may make the temperature feel higher. Proximity to the sea keeps moisture in the air, which can add to the discomfort. Those going out in the afternoon should take particular care. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding long spells in strong sun will help.

In Pune, the maximum temperature on October 28 is expected to be around 34 to 35 degrees Celsius. Mornings and nights may bring some relief, but the afternoon sun will be strong. According to the available forecast, the sky will remain mostly clear, with a few clouds possible in some places in the afternoon or evening. No specific weather warning has been mentioned for the city at present.

The weather may change in parts of Vidarbha, including Nagpur city, on October 28 and 29. Thunderstorms with lightning are forecast on both days. Clouds may gather and conditions may vary locally. However, the effect of the rain may differ from district to district and area to area. Farmers and people who work outdoors should keep checking the local forecast.

It would not be correct to forecast rain for all districts of Maharashtra. With humidity in Mumbai, heat in Pune and possible rain in Vidarbha, conditions may differ across regions.

During thunderstorms, people should stay away from open fields, tall trees and electricity poles. In the heat and humidity, they should drink plenty of water. For changes in the weather and for warnings, they should keep checking the latest information from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
