This sudden dip can be attributed to cooler winds and a shift in atmospheric conditions. The drop in night temperatures brought temporary relief to residents, making early mornings noticeably cooler.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Wednesday’s forecast predicts the maximum temperature around 33°C. The IMD stated, “Fall by 2-3 degrees celsius in maximum and minimum temperatures during the next 48 hours. Thereafter, a rise by 2-3 degrees is very likely over the region.” Experts suggest that as the winds change direction and cloud cover diminishes, temperatures are likely to climb again, leading to warmer days ahead.
The fluctuating temperatures highlight the transitional nature of the season, with brief cooling phases followed by gradual warming.
