Marathwada, covering areas like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Latur, and Beed, will be the hottest region. The Met department predicts the mercury will hit around 40 degrees Celsius here. This intense heat is likely to disrupt normal life, especially in the afternoons.

The heatwave threat continues for the remaining districts of Vidarbha, like Nagpur, Akola, and Amravati. Temperatures here could soar up to 42 degrees, so authorities have advised everyone to take precautions to avoid heatstroke.
