Cloudy Skies and Showers Have Citizens Switching Between Raincoats and Coolers
Nagpur, India: After days of extreme heat, residents of Vidarbha finally found relief on Tuesday as dark clouds, thunderstorms, and light showers rolled across several districts, temporarily easing the scorching summer temperatures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a yellow alert for eight districts, including Nagpur, Wardha, Chandrapur, Amravati, Gondia, Yavatmal, Bhandara, and Gadchiroli. The forecast warned of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds, and by late afternoon, many areas reported cloud cover and brief but welcome showers.
In Nagpur and surrounding regions, gusty winds brought down the day’s temperature slightly, providing a break from the unrelenting heatwave. The rain also offered some relief to farmers and rural communities facing water stress.
However, officials have cautioned that this change is only temporary. Meteorologists expect temperatures to climb back in the next few days, with highs potentially exceeding 43°C across central Maharashtra. Citizens are advised to take precautions, avoid exposure during peak sun hours, and stay updated on daily weather forecasts.
While the showers may have cooled the region for a short while, the intense summer is far from over — and Vidarbha is once again bracing for rising temperatures.
