Nagpur, June 16 – Residents of Nagpur reeling under intense heat and humidity may finally get some relief. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted thunderstorms and rainfall over the next two days, bringing down temperatures temporarily.
According to the IMD, Nagpur is likely to experience strong winds, lightning, and moderate to heavy rainfall from June 17 to 21. However, the relief may be short-lived as temperatures are expected to rise again post-rain, potentially crossing 40°C.
A trough extending from East Madhya Pradesh to West Bengal, passing through Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, along with an upper air cyclonic circulation over South Central Maharashtra, is contributing to current rain activity in parts of Maharashtra. Another cyclonic system over the Bay of Bengal is also likely to influence weather patterns across Central India.
