No further dip in temp: IMD

Officials of India Meteorological Department said there will be no further dip in temperature at least for the next few days. While the minimum temperature on Friday morning was 6.6 °C,Saturday’s forecast says it will be around 8°C.

“As the westerly winds and western disturbances have moved towards the north eastern parts of India,the cold wave conditions can be expected to end. We can rule out a further dip. Another western disturbance has formed in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. If it moves towards J&K,another round of temperature dip can be expected later,” an IMD official said.

Other parts of the state also recorded a rise in minimum temperature. In Nashik,the minimum temperature on Friday was 6.6°C,while in Santa Cruz and Colaba it was 10.6°C and 15.5°C respectively.
