This was four degrees below average for this time of year. On January 24, the city recorded its lowest temperature this season, 14.8 degrees Celsius.
IMD Mumbai predicted that cold weather would linger another two to three days. The cold is owing to northerly winds. Thunderstorms are also forecast in Vidarbha and north Madhya Maharashtra, which is the reason behind this temperature drop.
