Pleasant weather conditions are likely across the state during 1st half of February, with fair amount of sunshine and gradual rise of mercury levels, to slip into double digit in the later part.
Weather conditions are expected to remain clear over these areas. Over the next 4-5 days, 3-4 degrees rise can be seen over many parts and the farther the regions from the north, the higher the rise in temperatures will be, particularly over parts of Maharashtra.
These dry weather conditions may extend beyond a week as well. Thus, in a nutshell, rains will remain far away with weather conditions remaining pleasant during the day and slight nip in the air during the night.
The weather of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra has been completely dry for the last week. Minimum temperatures are dropping due to the commencement of dry and cool northerly and Northwesterly winds.
The Vidarbha region has been seeing intense heat for the past few days with Akola recording maximums above 44 degrees Celsius for the third day in a row. This hat-trick of maximums has been seen in Akola with the city recording 44.2° celsius yesterday, which is .1° more than what was observed the day before.
