16th March post.

The recent March heat over Interior Maharashtra and Konkan is now gradually becoming less. Peak Temperatures in the State are now declining from 42°c to today's 40°c...gradual.

The Anticyclone, or High Pressure over Gujarat has now fizzled out. A Line of Wind Discontinuity (LWD) starts forming in the Central South Peninsula areas. LWD means where the winds from the West will meet the winds from the East over Central Peninsula, bringing thundershowers. 

This is basically due to excess heat in the region. Thundershowers will cool down the days, and reasonably " Normal Temperatures " will prevail till March end.

The coming week will be less hot and some thundershowers expected in Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada abd and parts of South Konkan on 18th/19th/20th March ( Wed/Thu/Fri).

Mumbai: with today's 32°c, we see the day's getting to normal range soon.

Next week, 16th-17th will be around 33°c and 18th-20th cloudy with light rains in Northern Outer townships (Palghar,Virar). Days at 33/34°c. But humidity may increase the discomfort levels.

Pune: Cloudy and light rains on 19th/20th. Days around 36°c, but nights warming up to 20°c. May damage the Mango Flowers incase of moderate rain .

Sambhajinagar: Be aware for some thundershowers on 19th. At this stage may be bad for the Mango Flowers.

Mahabaleshwar: Warm days leading to thunder showers on 19th/20th...nights cooling down to 17°c.
