The maximum temperature over Vidarbha in Maharashtra and neighbouring Chhattisgarh is likely to gradually fall by 2 degrees Celsius over the next three days, after which a gradual rise by 2–3 degrees Celsius is expected over the subsequent four days, the weather bureau said. No significant change in maximum temperature is expected over Maharashtra in the next 24 hours. Thereafter a gradual rise by 2–3 degrees Celsius is likely over the subsequent six days, the bureau said.

 

In Gujarat, the maximum temperature is expected to fall gradually by 2–3 degrees Celsius in the next 24 hours, the weather department said. No significant change in maximum temperature is likely over the rest of the country, the department said.

 

Light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning is likely over parts of Odisha, sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, and Telangana till Tuesday and over Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, and Chhattisgarh Tuesday and Wednesday due the presence of multiple weather systems, the weather department said.

 

The well-marked low pressure area over the southwest Bay of Bengal moved northeastwards and weakened into a low pressure area over the same region in the early hours of Monday.
