The state of Maharashtra has been seeing increasing maximum in many parts particularly the interior regions of the state. Coastal parts of Maharashtra have been observing maximums close to the normal levels and a few places are witnessing the temperatures a notch below usual.
However, as far as the interior parts of the states are concerned, many areas are observing maximum above the 40 degree mark. At least 3 to 5° above the normal levels resulting in heatwave in isolated pockets.
Yesterday, many parts in Maharashtra recorded above normal maximums including Ahmednagar 41.4°C (5 degrees above normal), Akola 42.3°C (4 degrees above normal), Amravati 40.2°C, Brahmapuri 40.1°C, Chandrapur 40.8°C, Wardha 40°C, Yavatmal 40°C, and Washim 41°C.
Temperatures will continue to be on the higher side and heat wave conditions will soon grip many parts of Maharashtra in the coming days.
