IMD Revises Forecast, No Pre-Monsoon Rain Until June 10 The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has revised its weather forecast, indicating that significant rainfall and thunderstorms will not occur in Vidarbha regions until June 10. Despite earlier warnings of rain, thunderstorms, and lightning across the area, most parts of Vidarbha remained dry on Sunday. Bramhapuri emerged as the hottest location in the country, recording a temperature of 45.2°C, which was 4.1 degrees above the normal average. Nagpur’s Sonegaon observatory measured 43.8°C, while Wardha, Chandrapur, and Akola recorded 43.5°C, 43.0°C, and 42.5°C respectively. The scorching heat persisted despite forecasts issued a day earlier that predicted rain and thunderstorms under orange and yellow alerts for all Vidarbha districts. The IMD has now adjusted its outlook, stating that Nagpur and several eastern Vidarbha districts are unlikely to see substantial rainfall over the next two days. While some isolated showers were reported in parts of the region, thunderstorm warnings remain active under yellow alerts for a few districts. Weather officials have shifted the expectation of widespread rain and thunderstorms over Nagpur to June 10, delaying relief from the prolonged hot spell. The combination of dry air during the day and rising humidity levels has made the weather conditions particularly uncomfortable. The lack of cloud cover and rainfall has also contributed to a sharp increase in daytime temperatures across Vidarbha. Meteorologists noted that the southwest monsoon is advancing over parts of the country, but its influence over eastern Vidarbha remains limited for now. Until rain-bearing systems strengthen, temperatures are expected to remain above normal in several districts.#nagpur #india_meteorological_department #vidarbha #southwest_monsoon #baramhapuri
