Maharashtra Weather Alert: Prepare yourself for the final Coldwave spell in Maharashtra. As it moves eastward, the Western Disturbance is forming a trough. There's a good air circulation across North West Rajasthan, and Maharashtra is expected to experience a strong coldwave! There will be more cold due to the strong winds coming from the north in the districts of Pune, Mumbai, Satara, Nashik, and Kolhapur. Furthermore, colder temperatures are expected in Vidarbha, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada. Temperature fluctuations are expected on February 5 and 6. It got as high as 10 degrees Celsius in Pune on Thursday. Moreover, for the past few days, Mumbai has avoided the winter. It will, however, come back.

Chilly North Wind For Next Two Days

The Western Disturbance, according to the Pune Observatory, has taken the shape of a trough line and is moving eastward. A strong air current has developed over North West Rajasthan. Over North India, a jet stream and strong winds have formed. There is also air movement from Tamil Nadu's north to western Vidarbha. As a result, the state is becoming more humid. Pune and the state's north central regions may experience chilly north wind throughout the course of the next 48 hours. Thus, there's a chance that the lowest temperature will drop.

The severe winter is still going strong in the country's north. Rain is expected in Delhi and the Kani areas, the Meteorological Department has advised. In addition, there is still snowfall in the mountain ranges, which is causing a lot of cold winds to blow into the state. Also, due to the cyclical conditions created, the temperature of the state is also changing.
