Maharashtra, Gujarat, MP: IMD Expects No Significant Weather

West and Central India, covering Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, should see no significant weather this week, according to the India Meteorological Department’s 10 November bulletin. Rajkot in Gujarat recorded 38.7°C on 10 November, the highest maximum on the plains anywhere in India, Down To Earth reports.

No Warning for the Arabian Sea

IMD has issued no fishermen warning for the Arabian Sea, so fishing along the Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa coasts is not affected. An upper-air cyclonic circulation lies over southeast Rajasthan, but the bulletin links no rain to it for West and Central India. The week’s rain is forecast for Tamil Nadu, Kerala, the Andaman Islands, the Northeast and the western Himalaya.

Daytime Heat Stays High

With dry weather, daytime temperatures in Gujarat and parts of the Deccan stay high even as north India cools. The IMD bulletin gives no temperature forecast for these states, so no figures are projected here beyond the Rajkot reading. Farmers who have harvested crops can follow IMD’s general advice to secure produce before the next spell of rain; where that will fall is shown in our reports on the Weather Updates page.
