Most districts in Maharashtra are expected to witness a dry weather after days of light to moderate rains in past week, according to an India Meteorological Department (IMD) weather bulletin.
Meanwhile, the weather department has issued a yellow alert for Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad, forecasting hot and humid conditions with rising temperatures on April 10 and April 11.
A similar alert has been issued for Ratnagiri.
Commuters and residents have been advised to take precautions against the heat while enjoying the break from the recent rains.
Maharashtra on Wednesday continued to witness warm conditions across most regions, with maximum temperatures largely staying in the mid-to-high 30 degrees Celsius, though slightly below normal in several interior districts, as per the IMD's latest weather report.
Cities like Jalgaon (36.4 degrees Celsius), Malegaon (36.6 degrees Celsius), and Osmanabad (36.9 degrees Celsius) recorded high daytime temperatures, while Sholapur emerged as the hottest at 38.0 degrees Celsius. However, most of these readings remained 1-4 degrees Celsius below normal, indicating a marginal dip from typical April heat levels.
Coastal areas, including Alibag (32.7 degrees Celsius), Dahanu (33.6 degrees Celsius), and Ratnagiri (31.7 degrees Celsius), saw comparatively milder conditions. Humidity levels remained high, particularly in Mumbai-Colaba (86 per cent in the morning) and nearby regions, contributing to discomfort.
In Mumbai, temperatures hovered around 32.2 degrees Celsius at Colaba and 31.8 degrees Celsius at Santacruz, both slightly below normal. Minimum temperatures remained around 25-26 degrees Celsius, with high humidity levels making conditions feel warmer.
Hilly areas like Mahabaleshwar recorded a maximum of 29.2 degrees Celsius, with a cooler minimum of 16.8 degrees Celsius. Interior cities such as Nashik (20.4 degrees Celsius) and Satara (20.4 degrees Celsius) also experienced relatively cooler nights.
Morning humidity remained high across several regions, including Sangli (82 per cent) and Kolhapur (80 per cent), while it dropped significantly by evening in interior districts like Jalgaon and Beed.
Overall, while temperatures remain high, a slight dip below normal in many areas has offered marginal relief. Weather conditions are expected to remain largely stable, with warm days and humid conditions continuing across the state.
