A strong cold wave has swept across the interior parts of Maharashtra, bringing the season’s lowest single-digit temperatures.

The chill spans from Malegaon and Nashik to Jeur and Sholapur. Mumbai (Santacruz) recorded 17.4°C, 4°C below normal and the lowest this month.

Jalgaon and Jeur dipped to 7°C, nearly 7–8°C below average, marking severe cold wave conditions. Pune (9.4°C), Nashik (9.2°C), and Baramati (8.9°C) also reported sharp drops.

The cold winds from northern India are responsible for this widespread chill. However, the cold spell is expected to ease in the next two days as wind patterns shift easterly due to developing weather systems over eastern and southern India.
