Maharashtra to Face Intensifying Cold as South India Braces for Heavy Rainfall
As winter grips India, regions across the country are witnessing diverse weather patterns. While North and Central India brace for a cold wave, parts of South India are gearing up for heavy rainfall.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for various regions, predicting significant weather changes over the coming days. A Yellow Alert has been issued for Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh due to cold wave conditions, while isolated areas in North-Central Maharashtra are likely to experience near cold wave conditions until December 12. An Orange Alert has been declared for Tamil Nadu and adjacent regions, indicating the potential for extreme rainfall.
Maharashtra: Cold Intensifies with Minimal Rain Impact
Maharashtra, particularly its central parts, is set to experience an intensifying cold wave. Weather experts predict that Pune’s minimum temperature could drop as low as 11 degrees Celsius in the coming days. While the weather has been predominantly dry and cold, southern districts of Maharashtra might see partly cloudy skies and light rainfall between December 12 and 14. Night temperatures are expected to rise slightly from December 13 onward.
Despite the incoming weather system from the south, its impact on rainfall in Maharashtra will remain minimal, ensuring the state’s overall dry and cold climate persists. Citizens, especially Punekars, are advised to prepare for the sharp drop in temperatures.
Extreme Rainfall Predicted for Southern India
In stark contrast, Tamil Nadu and Coastal Andhra Pradesh are likely to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall under the Orange Alert. Residents in these areas are urged to stay updated on weather developments and take necessary precautions.
As the nation prepares for these contrasting weather conditions, timely updates from the IMD will remain critical for public safety and preparedness.
