With a shift in wind patterns, Nagpur has begun to feel the chill of early winter during the morning hours over the past few days. The season’s slight delay hasn’t deterred the cozy ambiance now settling across the city.
According to the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Nagpur’s minimum temperatures are forecasted to hover between 16°C and 18°C for the rest of November, while daytime temperatures are expected to stay in the 30°C to 32°C range. As per the local media report, Pravin Kumar, Scientist C at RMC, Nagpur, said, “The winter chill in the city is due to anti-cyclonic circulation and changing wind patterns. Temperatures in North India have started to dip, which strengthens the northerly winds, supporting winter weather in Central India.”
Though the northerly winds may not significantly intensify the cold this November, a meteorologist from the RMC hinted that by late December, single-digit minimum temperatures could be expected.
On Wednesday, Nagpur recorded its lowest minimum temperature of the season at 16°C, with a high of 31.8°C. Yavatmal was the coolest area in Vidarbha, dipping to 15°C, while most other places saw minimum temperatures above 16°C. Washim claimed the highest temperature in Vidarbha at 34.8°C, closely followed by Akola and Bramhapuri, both reaching 33.2°C. Other regions across Vidarbha reported maximum temperatures above 31°C.
With the city’s temperatures gradually dropping, many Nagpurians are relishing the cooler weather, particularly during the evenings.
