The maximum temperature of the day was 29.8 degrees Celsius.
“From 11.3 degrees Celsius, the temperature will increase for the next three days (November 11-13), but after the western disturbance effect it will decrease. The moisture is increasing from Bay of Bengal so we forecast cloudy weather on November 15 and 16,” Kashyapi said.
