According to the IMD’s extended range forecasts issued last week, nights are set to remain warmer till the first week of December over Maharashtra. “However, daytime could be cooler than normal,” the forecast stated.

The weather will not see any significant improvement even though clear sky conditions will return. Maximum temperature according to the IMD will be around 30 degrees Celsius whereas minimum temperature could range between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius, till December 5 for Pune.

“The southeasterly winds are pumping in moisture over Maharashtra, due to which the night temperatures have risen and cloudy conditions prevailed.
