This has been the lowest temperature this season so far, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) data. With mercury slipping down, most people have brought out their winter wears amid cool breeze witnessed in the morning. The day temperature was recorded at 31 degrees Celsius.

The weather department has predicted that temperature is likely to remain same for the next two days post which there may be a minor rise.

According to Anupam Kashyapi, head of weather forecasting department at IMD Pune, among the reasons for dip in temperature is clear skies.

“There is a dip in the temperature and IMD had predicted this three days back. The reason being clear and cloud-free skies. At the same time there has been reduction in relative humidity while night time long wave radiation is escaping. The maximum temperature will rise and minimum temperature will be the same or more or less” said Kashyapi.
