Rain stops across Maharashtra; minimum temperature to fall 2-3 degrees in 4-5 days

Maharashtra's weather has changed markedly after Diwali. According to the India Meteorological Department and the Regional Meteorological Centre, Mumbai, rain has ended completely in most parts of the state and the weather will stay dry for the next few days.

No yellow, orange or red alert has been issued for any district of the state on November 11. The department expects the minimum temperature to fall by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius over the next four to five days. As a result, mornings and nights will feel cold, while the afternoon sun will remain harsh.

In the Konkan region and Mumbai, the weather is likely to stay dry in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Raigad districts. Mumbai may see morning fog, and the sky is expected to remain clear through the day. The maximum temperature here may be around 32 to 36 degrees and the minimum around 20 to 24 degrees Celsius. People may therefore feel the heat in the afternoon.

In western Maharashtra, including Pune, the maximum temperature is expected to be 32 degrees and the minimum 15 degrees Celsius. Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Ahilyanagar districts also have no chance of rain, and the weather will stay dry.

In Vidarbha, including Nagpur, no rain is expected across the region for the next few days. The maximum temperature in Nagpur is expected to reach 30 to 34 degrees. The weather will also stay dry in Amravati, Akola, Wardha, Bhandara, Gondia, Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts. This will give farmers good conditions for harvesting and drying their crops.

In Marathwada, Nashik will be warm during the day, with light drizzle possible at night. No rain warning has been issued for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Beed, Latur, Dharashiv, Parbhani, Hingoli and Nanded districts.

Overall, rain has stopped in the state, but temperatures will continue to fluctuate. People may face both cold in the morning and at night and heat in the afternoon.
