Warm, dry winds from the North East are the cause and reason. They have overpowered the weakening W.D. North winds.

Similar temperatures,36-38°,can continue till 26th ..Maha Shivratri.

But, point to note. This change and difference in Wind Patterns is not absolutely "out of normal".

Vagaries records show it has happened before, 3/4 times in last 12 years ( in late February or early March).
