After a brief yet much-needed spell of light rainfall across the city and other parts of Western Maharashtra, residents experienced temporary relief from the scorching heat. However, meteorologists warn that while temperatures are expected to remain around 35 degrees Celsius, rising humidity levels will likely cause more discomfort in the coming days.

Meanwhile, pre-monsoon rains in peninsular India continue to impact weather patterns, with both positive and negative implications for agriculture. Experts advise farmers to remain cautious as extreme weather conditions, including hailstorm and high-speed winds, could affect crops that are ready for harvesting in some areas. Nonetheless, soil moisture replenishment is expected to benefit the upcoming agricultural season.
