Under its influence, the winds from the oceanic area are bringing in greater moisture, which in turn is causing the formation of local convective clouds resulting in rain,” said L Gavkar, in charge, weather central, IMD.
The IMD has predicted that a significant respite from the heat and humidity, as the maximum temperature would range between 37 and 38 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature between 22 and 23 degrees Celsius for the next 48 hours.
