February has brought weather fluctuations across Maharashtra. While cold conditions have largely receded, select districts continue to experience a cold wave during the early morning hours. In contrast, heat wave conditions are intensifying in several other regions. Apart from Mumbai and its suburbs, the Konkan coastal belt, as well as central and western Maharashtra, are witnessing a steady rise in maximum temperatures.
