Weather Update : Effect of Low Pressure in the Bay of Bengal, Will the Cold Decrease or Increase?

Currently, a cold wave persists in many parts of the country, including North India. The capital, Delhi, has recorded the lowest temperature of this winter so far, and in some places in the Kashmir Valley, the mercury has dropped below zero. As a result, citizens are experiencing severe cold. On the other hand, due to the low-pressure area forming in the Bay of Bengal, significant changes in the weather are expected. Let's see how Maharashtra will be affected. According to the new forecast by the Meteorological Department, changes in the state's weather are expected on Sunday, January 11, 2026. The impact of weather developments in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal is being felt in Maharashtra, and fluctuations in the weather may be observed in various parts.

Will the weather change in the state?

Although the cold is increasing in North India, the temperature in Maharashtra is slightly rising due to the current cloudy weather. The expected cold wave has not yet arrived in the state as the cold winds from the north are not active. While there is a slight chill in the morning in Mumbai, the weather department has predicted that the cold atmosphere will persist throughout the month of January.

Cold to subside due to cloudy weather

According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the cold may reduce in some parts of the state today due to cloudy weather. There is also a possibility of fog and dew in some places. Therefore, there is a likelihood of temperature fluctuations in most of Maharashtra.

Due to the low-pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka, moisture in the air has increased, resulting in cloudy weather in many areas. Although there is no chance of rain, the cloudy weather may slightly reduce the heat felt during the day. Consequently, there is a possibility of severe cold even during the day in some areas.
