Nagpur has been experiencing continuous rainfall since yesterday, bringing a significant drop in temperatures and much-needed relief from the heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rain alert for the next two days.
On Wednesday, rainfall began at 7 a.m. and continued throughout the day, with the city recording an 8.2°C drop in maximum temperature. In the past 24 hours, Nagpur received 33 mm of rainfall. Showers alternated between heavy downpours and light drizzles, leaving the city drenched. A tree fell near Meetha Neem Dargah, while ongoing excavation work in parts of the city caused loose soil to spill onto roads, creating hazardous conditions for two-wheeler riders. However, light rain meant waterlogging was minimal in the Road Under Bridges (RUBs), easing traffic flow.
By 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 15.0 mm of rain had been recorded, with another 18.0 mm by 5:30 p.m. Authorities have warned of possible heavy rainfall over the next 48 hours, following IMD’s earlier three-day forecast issued on Tuesday. Rainfall intensity varied across different areas, sometimes light and sometimes intense. Potholes filled with rainwater added to commuters’ woes. The city’s maximum temperature on Wednesday was recorded at 25.6°C, down from 33.8°C the previous day, while the minimum stood at 24.1°C — a 1.3°C drop in 24 hours.
