Parts of Vidarbha are heading into intense heat conditions, with districts like Amravati and Akola under a yellow heatwave alert. Temperatures are expected to climb up to 41–43°C over the next couple of days.

The situation is similar in interior Konkan and Marathwada, where the mercury is steadily rising. The combination of dry heat and increasing temperatures may significantly impact daily life, especially for those working outdoors. Authorities advise minimizing exposure during peak afternoon hours.

Humidity and Patchy Showers to Impact Coastal Belt

Residents of Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad are likely to experience uncomfortable weather conditions, with high humidity adding to the heat stress.

While the day may feel oppressive, brief spells of rain and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon or evening. These showers may bring temporary relief but are unlikely to significantly lower temperatures. Meanwhile, areas like Palghar and Jalgaon are expected to stay largely dry.
