Rain stops across Maharashtra, sunny days and cooler nights; Nagpur AQI at 274

The weather in Maharashtra has begun to change in mid-November. After the monsoon's withdrawal, conditions are dry across most of the state. No rain is expected on Saturday, November 14, in most districts, including Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Nagpur. Mornings and nights are turning mildly cold as temperatures fall, while the afternoon sun is strong enough to make it feel warm.

The sky over Mumbai and surrounding areas is expected to remain mainly clear on Saturday. Strong sunshine, heat and humidity may cause discomfort during the day. The maximum temperature in Mumbai may be 34 to 35 degrees Celsius and the minimum around 24 degrees Celsius. Thane, Palghar, Raigad and Navi Mumbai are also expected to stay dry. There is no specific rain warning for these areas at present.

The chill has begun to build up in Pune and Nashik in the mornings and at night. Pune is expected to see a maximum of about 33 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 15 degrees Celsius. In Nashik the minimum may be around 14 to 15 degrees. Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar may also feel a mild chill in the morning, but the afternoon will stay warm because of the sun.

Nagpur is also expected to stay dry on Saturday. According to available weather data, the city's temperature has been recorded at about 19 degrees. The maximum may be around 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum around 19 degrees Celsius. Morning humidity was recorded at 91 per cent and atmospheric pressure at 1014.

Air quality in Nagpur remains a concern. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) has been recorded at 274, which falls in the unhealthy category. PM 2.5 stood at 210 and PM 10 at 249. People with breathing problems and the elderly need to take particular care. Go out only when necessary, and avoid staying in the open for long when pollution is high.

Rain has also stopped for now in the rest of Vidarbha. Amravati, Akola, Wardha, Yavatmal, Gondia, Bhandara and Chandrapur are likely to stay dry. Sunshine by day and a mild chill at night are likely.

The chance of rain is low in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nanded, Latur, Dharashiv, Parbhani and Beed in Marathwada. Skies are also expected to stay clear in Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Solapur and Pune in western Maharashtra.

According to the current weather trend, minimum temperatures may fall further in many parts of Maharashtra over the next few days. This will deepen the chill in the morning and late at night, while afternoons may stay warm. Given the changing weather, light warm clothing is advised in the morning and at night.
