Mumbai Weather: Mumbai experienced an unusually cold start to the day on Wednesday, November 19, with the minimum temperature dropping to 16.2 degrees Celsius. This is the lowest November temperature the city has seen in at least ten years. The Santacruz station reported the sharp dip, nearly five degrees below the normal level for this time of year.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirmed that the reading of 16.2 degrees Celsius surpassed the previous low recorded earlier this week. Just a day before, the minimum temperature in the city had touched 17.4 degrees Celsius. In contrast, the Colaba observatory, located closer to the coastline, noted a milder 21.6 degrees Celsius, reflecting the coastal influence.
The weather department stated that the cold conditions had started earlier this month. Minimum temperatures had slipped under 20 degrees Celsius on November 9, marking the beginning of the coldwave phase. Since then, several parts of Maharashtra have continued to witness a decline in night temperatures, indicating an early onset of winter conditions.
Maharashtra Weather: Yellow Alert Issued
Amid this pattern, the IMD issued a yellow alert for two districts, Nashik and Jalgaon. Nashik reported a minimum of 8 degrees Celsius, while Jalgaon also recorded a significant fall in temperature. Key urban centres such as Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Jalgaon are all experiencing a notable dip in mercury levels.
Pune Weather
Pune, which has been facing coldwave conditions for several days, recorded 10 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, with the maximum temperature expected to reach 28 degrees Celsius. Earlier this week, the city registered its first single-digit minimum of the season on Monday, marking the sharpest drop so far. The IMD has predicted clear skies for Pune and stated that no weather warnings have been issued for the city.
