The state recorded a maximum temperature of 33.0°C and a minimum of 25.2°C, with humidity at 90 per cent all above normal levels. For the next 48 hours, temperatures are expected to remain around 32°C (max) and 25°C (min).

IMD Yellow Alert and Safety Advisory

The IMD has issued a yellow alert till October 26, warning residents of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds of 30–40 km/h, reaching up to 50 km/h. Heavy rainfall is expected at isolated locations, with moderate to heavy showers predicted on Friday, followed by light to moderate rainfall on October 25-26. Residents are advised to stay indoors during thunderstorms and follow official weather advisories.
