Mumbaikars need to brace for heatwaves, again, for the next few days, according to the forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday. The IMD has predicted heatwave conditions in parts of Marathwada, Vidarbha and central Maharashtra, including Mumbai, for the next three-four days. Weather forecasters have warned that the current heat wave conditions could cause moderate health concerns for senior citizens, infants and people with chronic diseases.

A gradual rise in maximum temperatures, by 2-3 degrees Celsius, is very likely in the state this week. A yellow alert, indicating a heatwave in isolated pockets, has been issued for Jalgaon, Ahmednagar, Sholapur, Aurangabad, Jalna, Parbhani and Hingoli districts from March 31 to April 3.
