Mumbai’s maximum temperature on Thursday dropped further, compared to last two days. But the minimum temperature continued to be between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius.

For once, Mumbaikars have no reason to complain. From the ordinary warm and humid temperatures, Mumbai has experienced nearly two months of winter, a rarity for this city.

In view of life-threatening thunderstorms and lightning during the pre-monsoon season, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has decided to implement an end-to-end prediction system for predicting thunderstorms.

With Cyclone Phethai making landfall in Andhra Pradesh coast and the IMD forecasting heavy rainfall in the region, the Odisha government has evacuated more than 11,000 people to safety zones.

Cyclone ‘Phethai’ made landfall in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh on Monday afternoon bringing moderate to heavy rains even as normal life remained hit in the coastal districts of the state.

The IMD on Sunday confirmed that the Phethai cyclone has intensified into a “severe cyclonic storm” over the Bay of Bengal and is “very likely” to cross Andhra Pradesh’s Kakinada on Monday.

In what could bring respite to the city, which generally remains hot and humid for most part of the year, Monday morning saw the minimum temperatures dipping to 16 degree Celsius by recording second lowest temperature of this year.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday said that cyclonic storm ‘Gaja’ is likely to intensify further into a ‘severe cyclonic storm’ in next 24 hours.
