According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials, the rise in temperature is due to to a wind circulation in south Gujarat. This caused cloud formation and rainfall in parts of Maharashtra, said IMD officials. Jalgaon received 1cm rainfall at 5 am on Saturday, said a duty officer. In Colaba and Santacruz, the humidity in the air also saw a steep rise touching 91 per cent and 85 per cent respectively. However, IMD officials said scanty shower is not so abnormal over Maharashtra usually during the winter. Dr R V Sharma, deputy director general of the regional Met office, Mumbai, said, “Usually, rainfall during this time of the year occurs, when a trough is caused due to ‘western disturbances’ in the north and ‘easterly waves’ in the south of India. During such times, the regions on the east side of north as well as south experience rainfall and moisture.” Sharma said the wind pattern usually decides the weather. Following rainfall in Jalgaon, the IMD recorded a change in the minimum temperatures over different part of the state.
