Mumbai: After days of intense winter conditions across Maharashtra, weather patterns are now showing signs of change. Several cities, including Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Akola, and Yavatmal, have been experiencing a significant drop in temperature due to cold winds blowing in from northern India.
However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has now indicated a slight decrease in cold intensity from Thursday onward in some regions, with cloudy skies reported during early morning and evening hours. The shift in atmospheric conditions has prompted the IMD to issue a rain alert for specific districts.
