The maximum temperature is expected to be around 28 degrees Celsius, while the minimum may hover around 16 degrees Celsius.

The city last recorded a low of 12 degrees Celsius in December on December 11, 2016, which was the lowest minimum for that month since 2011. Patil explained that the current cold spell is mainly due to northeasterly winds, clear skies, dry air, and stable atmospheric conditions.
