Parts of Vidarbha witnessed scattered rainfall of moderate intensity on Thursday, June 11. As per the Indian Meteorological Department, the scattered showers in parts of Maharashtra brought a brief respite from the prevailing heatwave conditions.
Despite the rainfall activity, there was no significant change in maximum temperatures across the region. Day temperatures remained appreciably above normal, keeping heat stress levels high in several districts, according to IMD. Similarly, minimum temperatures showed no large variation and stayed within the normal range for this time of the year.
Brahmpuri emerged as the hottest location in Vidarbha, recording the region's highest maximum temperature of 45.5 degrees Celsius. The Maharashtra district also registered the lowest minimum temperature in the region at 24.5 degrees Celsius, highlighting a wide diurnal temperature variation.
IMD officials said that the scattered rain activity was limited to parts of Vidarbha and was not sufficient to bring down the soaring daytime temperatures significantly. The combination of intermittent showers and high temperatures has resulted in humid and uncomfortable weather conditions across several areas.
Mumbai is expected to experience a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of light rain or thundershowers in the city and suburban areas on Thursday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
