According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there is expected to be a gradual increase in temperature of 2 to 4 degrees Celsius in most areas of the country over the next five days.
“Gradual rise in maximum temperature by 2-4 degrees Celsius over most parts of the country during next 5 days,” the IMD said in its advisory.
The IMD advisory stated that the maximum temperature is likely to rise gradually in these regions.
Additionally, the weather office has forecasted thunderstorms and strong winds in Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh over the next two days.
“Thunderstorms with gusty winds likely over Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh during next 2 days and decrease thereafter,” the advisory said.
India logged its hottest February this year since record-keeping began in 1901, according to the IMD. However, above-normal rainfall due to seven western disturbances, including five strong ones, kept temperatures in check in March.
