Why Are Temperatures Falling So Fast?
1. Cold Northern Winds
Dry and cold winds flowing from North India are the primary reason behind the sudden drop in temperatures across central Maharashtra.
2. Clear Night Skies
With no cloud cover, the heat absorbed by the ground during the day escapes quickly at night, causing temperatures to plummet.
3. Early Winter Onset
This year, winter conditions have intensified earlier than expected, likely due to changing weather patterns and shifting wind movement.
